Is It Dangerous To Give Sinarest Syrup Instead Of Asthalin For Mild Wheezing?

This is regarding my 2 months old baby. He was having cold/cough for the past 10 days and yesterday he was found with mild wheezing and doctor has adviced me to give Asthalin (0.8 ml) for mild wheezing. Vaccination was also given yesterday.Just now accidentally instead of giving asthalin syrup, I have given sinarest syrup - 0.5 ml as both look alike and kept at the same place.Is this a problem? Should I do anything now? Please let me know

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Sinarest syrup 0.5 ml is not going to cause any problem to your baby , it is not a reason to concern, take care in future, as baby is having wheezing you need to be alert regarding general condition, respiratory distress , oral acceptance of baby. You need not to do anything specific in relation to sinarest but do keep a watch on dangerous sign explained to you.
Take care.


Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
