Hi PediatricNurseJane, Flumil Pediatric Drops are an antihistamine medication used to treat symptoms of allergies in children. These symptoms can include runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes. The drops are usually given to children who have difficulty swallowing pills or tablets. It's important to follow the dosage instructions carefully, as directed by a healthcare professional, to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the medication.

In addition to treating allergies, Flumil Pediatric Drops can also be used to relieve symptoms of the common cold, such as a stuffy nose. However, it's important to note that this medication does not cure the common cold or shorten its duration. It simply helps to alleviate the symptoms. As with any medication, there may be potential side effects, so it's important to monitor your child for any unusual reactions and contact a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.

It's also worth noting that Flumil Pediatric Drops should not be given to children under the age of 2 without consulting a healthcare professional. This is because young children may be more susceptible to certain side effects and may require a different dosage or medication. As always, it's important to prioritize the health and safety of your child when administering any medication.
