Brief answer....yes these medicines can be given except the fact that you don't need p 125 because you are already giving PAMAGIN C which has a fever reducing agent acetaminophen in it.
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
The medicines prescribed are absolutely all right except the use of P 125 in addition to use of PAMAGIN C. ACETAMINIPHEN present in PAMAGIN C would help in relieving his fever and hence there is no need to give P 125 ( paracetamol ),if PAMAGIN C is being given regularly 3-4 times a day.
In addition you can give steam inhalation to your child 2-3 times a day which would help in relieving his cold symptoms fast.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
