Does this medication help relieve fluid in ears? Can it be used nightly for 1-2 weeks to help eliminate fluid in the ears of a 55 lb, 5-1/2 yr old? ## The active ingredients listed (Brompheniramine and Pseudoephedrine) are found in a number of medications. One brand is Bromfed-DM syrup (NDC 54868-6377) which also contains Dextromethorphan. It's a combination cough suppressant, antihistamine, and decongestant for treating symptoms of the common cold, flu, & allergies. In reading the product label (PDF) for Children's Dimetapp Cold & Allergy (which contains Phenylephrine instead of Pseudoephedrine), it says that it is not indicated for children under 6 years of age. It sounds like your son is pretty close to the minimum age. What I'd recommend is getting it cleared by ...

My son is 2 years and six months. His Dr prescribed him Bromphenir pseudoephed today and my husband accidentally gave him 3 times the indicated dosage. Is this an emergency? What should we do? Thanks! ## It is very important that you read the leaflet included with the prescription. Watch for signs of overdose or side effects. Call the pharmacy and explain what happened.
