Question : Hi Doctor,
My daughter is 2.9 years old and her weight is approx. 16 Kgs.
She goes to a daycare and generally catches cough and cold. We give her Alerid for 5 days which helps. Till now we were giving her 5 ml dose which was recommended by the doctor when she was around 12 KGs and 2 yrs old.

Could you please suggest whether 5 ml dosage of Alerid (once a day) is still sufficient considering her current age and weight or do we need to increase the dosage?

Regards,
Ankur
