Some of the common side effects of this medicine include excessive production of saliva, altered taste, dry mouth and throat, oral numbness, fatigue, nervousness, increased heart rate, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, indigestion, or skin rash. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, if these effects persist or become bothersome for your child, report to your child’s doctor immediately.

FAQs

My child is having a cough with no mucus. Can I give Servil Baby Syrup?

No, Servil Baby Syrup is advised for the treatment of wet cough. It aims to expel the mucus from the airway tract, thereby relieving your child from throat irritation, congestion and rendering him a soothing effect. Whereas, for a dry cough, cough suppressants are a better option. So, it will be wise if you ask your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

What should I do in case my child misses his/her dose of Servil Baby Syrup?

If your child’s doctor has advised you to give Servil Baby Syrup regularly to your child, then give the missed dose as soon as you remember. It is best to maintain a log of your child’s dose as it helps prevent missed doses. However, if it is close to the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your normal dosing routine. Do not give two doses at the same time. Many times Servil Baby Syrup is used on an as-needed basis. Do not give more often than told by the child’s doctor.
