- rash, blistering or peeling skin, swelling of the face, lips or tongue, difficulty breathing
- bruising or bleeding without a clear reason
- rapid, deep breathing with drowsiness, nausea and vomiting
- fever or pain not settling after 3 days, or the condition getting worse
- a baby under 3 months with fever, without prior medical advice
Pharmacist's advice
Before each dose check when the child last had the medicine and write down the time and amount – this makes it easier to keep 4 hours between doses and no more than 4 doses a day. Measure the dose only with the spoon from the pack, not a household spoon.
Check the composition of all other cold and fever medicines your child receives: many combination products also contain paracetamol. Use an opened bottle within 6 months.
Availability and price
The medicine is available without a prescription, but under the regulations of the Republic of Serbia it cannot be ordered online. This page is for information only.
