Is Paracetamol Ingredient Medicines Harmful?

Hi, my daughter 3.6 years suffers from cough and cold persistently. We have consulted many doctors and all of them give the same feedback that she is fine but is allergic. Her allergy profile showed hypersensitivity to apple, spinach and we stopped completely these foods. However, we end up giving paracetamol ingredient medicines often for her sound sleep due to cough. Is it harmful

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Fever and respiratory infections, commonly due to viral causes, is pretty common in children of this age. However, some children are more prone to such infection. These conditions generally have an allergic component associated. The findings of allergy to apple and spinach are incidental and probably not related to this. The treatment of such infections is with some antiallergic like levocetirizine. You can give the child montair LC (monteleukast + levocetirizine) for a few days during such episodes. Paracetamol would help in reducing the temperature. Give steam inhalation to the child as it will help in diluting the cough. These medicines are will not harm your child and you need not worry about that.
