Uses of Mongex Syrup in children

Benefits of Mongex Syrup for your child

In Treatment of Allergic skin conditions

Mongex Syrup is effective in treating allergic skin conditions with inflammation and itching. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation of the skin. When used correctly it is a safe and effective treatment. It reduces the redness, rash, pain or itchiness caused by your skin’s reaction to an irritant. It thus improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. Keep taking it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

In Treatment of Hay fever

Hay fever, also called allergic rhinitis, causes cold-like signs and symptoms, such as a runny nose, itchy eyes, congestion, sneezing and sinus pressure. The only difference is that in hay fever, these symptoms are not produced due to a virus but are simply allergic responses of our body to allergens (allergy causing agents such as pollen). Mongex Syrup is used to provide relief from these symptoms of hay fever. It works by blocking the release of the chemical substance responsible for producing such allergy symptoms. Mongex Syrup is a safe medicine which helps treat hay fever and makes us feel at ease.

Side effects of Mongex Syrup in children

Mongex Syrup does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children. In case the side effects do occur, they’re likely to subside once the body adapts to the medicine. Consult your child’s doctor if these side effects persist or bother your child. The most common side effects include-

How can I give Mongex Syrup to my child?

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Mongex Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Mongex Syrup works

Mongex Syrup contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Together these two relieve sneezing and runny nose caused due to allergies. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic that blocks a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist. It works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose and improves symptoms.

Quick tips

  • Never combine Mongex Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects.
  • Mongex Syrup helps prevent asthma attacks. Never use it to stop an attack that has already started, as it will not help.
  • If you are giving Mongex Syrup to your child for asthma or allergy, you need not give another dose to prevent exercise-induced breathing problems. In case of any confusion, consult your child’s doctor as soon as possible.
  • Make sure that you always have enough medicine.
  • Practice self-care tips:
    1. Abstain your child from coming in contact with allergens
    2. Encourage your child to wear a face mask and avoid dusty places
    3. Give plenty of fluids as it helps in thinning and loosening the mucus in the lungs.
  • You have been prescribed Mongex Syrup to help relieve symptoms of allergy such as runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and cough.
  • Be cautious while driving or doing anything that requires concentration as Mongex Syrup can cause dizziness and sleepiness.
  • Do not drink alcohol while taking Mongex Syrup as it may cause increased sleepiness.
  • Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help.
  • Stop taking Mongex Syrup at least three days before taking an allergy test as it can affect the test results.
