also be used to ease breathing difficulties caused by strenuous
physical activities. This medicine also helps treat symptoms of skin and
seasonal allergies such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, swelling,
congestion, and watery eyes.
Give Telekast 4 Chewable Tablet to
your child at a fixed time before or after food in the prescribed dose,
time, and way. You may need to give it to your child for a few weeks
before it starts to prevent asthma attacks. For asthma, prefer giving
Telekast 4 Chewable Tablet in the evening or 2 hours before physical
activity. For allergy, it is best to give it in the evening, depending
upon the time of onset of symptoms. In case your child has both, prefer
giving it in the evening. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of
taking this medicine, give the same dose again, but skip it if it’s
already time for the next dose.
Your child may start to feel
better after a few regular doses. However, you must still complete the
prescribed dose to ensure maximum benefit. Moreover, stopping the
medicine abruptly may worsen your child’s condition. This medicine may
cause some minor and temporary side effects like fever, headache,
abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Usually, these episodes subside once your
child’s body adapts to the medicine. However, in case these effects
persist or start bothering your child, consult your child’s doctor
without any delay.
Let your child’s doctor know if your child is
already taking any medicines. Also, narrate your child’s complete
medical history, including any prior episodes of allergy, heart problem,
blood disorder, vascular disorders, birth defects, airway obstruction,
lung anomaly, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction.
This information is critical for dose alterations and in planning your
child’s overall treatment.
