Snee Syrup
Your child’s medicine at a glance
Snee Syrup is commonly prescribed in children to treat symptoms such as runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, sore throat, body ache, and fever. These symptoms are usually associated with common cold, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), and other respiratory tract conditions.
Give Snee Syrup to your child by mouth with or without food. If your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with food. Always remember that the dosing schedule provided by your child’s doctor depends on the type of symptoms your child has, so make sure to follow the prescribed dose, time, and way strictly.
Give Snee Syrup at a fixed time each day so that it gradually makes a place in your child’s daily routine, which will help you to remember. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking this medicine give the same dose again. However, never repeat the dose if it's already time for the next dose. Your child may start to feel better within a week of regular dosing. However, you must continue giving the medicine to your child to finish the complete prescribed course as stopping it abruptly may worsen your child’s condition.
Some of the minor and temporary side effects that your child may experience while taking this medicine include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, skin rash, headache, insomnia, and nervousness. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medicine. In case these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, consult your child’s doctor without any delay.
Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any ongoing medicine regime or history of any allergy, heart problem, birth defects, spinal cord injury, airway obstruction, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

In Common cold
Snee Syrup is a combination medicine that effectively relieves symptoms of the common cold, such as a blocked nose, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, and congestion or stuffiness. It helps loosen thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. It also shrinks the blood vessels and provides rapid relief that lasts for several hours. These actions make breathing easier.
Snee Syrup is safe and effective. It usually starts to work within a few minutes, and the effects can last up to several hours. Take it as prescribed by your doctor, and do not stop using it unless you are advised otherwise.

How Snee Syrup works
Snee Syrup contains two active medicines: Paracetamol and Phenylephrine. These two ingredients work together to provide relief from the symptoms of the common cold. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer). It restricts the release of certain chemical messengers in the brain that are responsible for inducing pain and fever. The second ingredient, Phenylephrine, is a nasal decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels, providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.
