3) Calpol 6 Plus™ (Paracetamol) 250 mg/5 ml Suspension (Analgesic/Antipyretic)

I highly recommend Calpo™ products, I find it to have the fastest effectivity in   bringing down high fever in infants and toddlers compared to other paracetamol brands (i.e. Tempra®, Biogesic® (for kids))

Cetirizine Dihydrochloride is indicated for the treatment of perennial rhinitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, chronic idiophatic urticaria and allergic conjunctivitis.

As younger children are more prone to seasonal attacks of bronchial conditions, the above combination (Keplex®, Ventolin™, Virlix™) are most commonly prescribed by pediatricians.

Calpol 6 Plus™, Septrin®, Keplex®, Ventolin™ and Virlix™ are all products of GlaxoSmithKline.
