[|Human|] Hi, my child had G6PD and she is having a dry cough, runny nose and watery eyes. and having a fever temperature 38 degrees. Is it safe for her to give only allerkid drops? or is it necessary to give her medicine for cough like ambroxol or carbocisteine drops. Thank you.
[|AI|]  Allergic contains cetirizine which needs to be administered with caution in patients with G6PD deficiency (since it is not totally incompatible). You may give the medicine for 2-3 days but look out for any jaundice or any adverse reactions and stop it if such things occur. Look up http://www.rddiagnostics.com/g6pd_disorder2.htm and you will know the Chat Doctor. Aerosol or carbocisteine are supposed to dilute the cough and are not essential. Instead, steam inhalation apart from any sort of medications, will give the child some relief. Give her paracetamol for fever. Also give sponging with water at room temperature.
