How is the cuff syrup dangerous
In Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, 6 children have lost their lives due to drinking phlegm syrup. Investigation has revealed that the kidney of children had deteriorated, which has caused death. These children took Coldrif and Nextros DS Syrup. They have been banned after the death of children. After this incident of Chhindwara, the question is coming in the minds of many people as to how the kidney of the syrup is spoiled and whether it should be given to the children or not.
Dr. Ajit Kumar in Medicine Department at GTB Hospital in Delhi It is said that in today's time, the parents themselves without the advice of the doctor Cuff syrup They give, but should not do so. Because if the dose becomes more then it can be dangerous. Dr. Kumar says that diathylene glycol and ethylene glycol are added to make syrup. This is added so that the syrup is not spoiled. But in some cases it may do harm.
Dr. Kumar says that if a child takes more phlegm syrup, then the diathylene glycol and ethylene glycol goes more in his body which can spoil the kidney. Because of this, there is a problem of urination and stomach pain. Long -term urine does not have a direct effect on the kidney. The kidney gets infected and is unable to function properly. Increased infection in the kidney fails it which causes death.
Dr. Bhagwan Minister in Pulmonology Department at Moolchand Hospital in Delhi It is said that phlegm syrup is of two types. It contains one for dry phlegm (dry cough) and the other sows for Khasi with mucus. Some syrup are also for allergies.
Dr. Minister says that while taking syrup, consult your doctor. As far as the dose is concerned, you can take half a teaspoon (2.55 ml) for children (6 to 12 years), 2-3 times a day, but never give syrup without prescription of a doctor in children younger than 2 to 6 years. Giving phlegm syrup in these children can cause damage to the body. If the doctor has written the syrup, then give it and keep the dose right. Also keep in mind that the syrup should always take after the meal and do not take two different types of syrup at the same time.
