Is The Change In Behavior Of Kid Due To Bricarex?

Hi, My 2 and a half year daughter has been suffering from cough and had high fever. we visit child specialist and he advised Bricarex and Augmentin. Now the fever is not coming but her behaviour has changed, she has become very naughty doing things we do not expect from her, speaks in sleep. Some one told us this is because of Bricarex. Is it so? Should we stop giving her this medicine

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Bricarex contains terbutaline.
Terbutaline often causes hyperactivity,restlessness, irritabitility and many times tremors especially if the doses are towards higher side.
Bricarex can be stopped for time being and its effect will wash off in about 24 hours.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
