About Crocin DS Suspension 60 ml

Crocin DS Suspension 60 ml is used in relieving pain and fever. Pain can be acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting). Fever is a high body temperature followed by shivering, headache, and, in severe cases, delirium.

Crocin DS Suspension 60 ml contains Paracetamol, which works by blocking the production of a chemical messenger (prostaglandin) and encouraging heat loss (through sweating), which helps reset the hypothalamus thermostat.

Crocin DS Suspension 60 ml may cause side effects such as abdominal pain, nausea or diarrhoea. If the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician.

Crocin DS Suspension 60 ml is intended for pediatric use only. Avoid giving Crocin DS Suspension 60 ml to your child if she/he is allergic to it. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, medications, and medical history to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Description

Crocin DS Suspension 60 ml is a paediatric pain and fever relief medicine formulated with paracetamol (240 mg/5 ml). It is commonly used to manage fever and mild to moderate pain in children, making it a trusted option in everyday paediatric care. The medicine works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemical messengers in the body that trigger pain and increase body temperature. By acting on the brain’s temperature-regulating centre, it helps reduce fever and relieve discomfort effectively. Crocin DS Suspension is used for conditions such as fever due to infections, headache, toothache, ear pain, body aches, and post-vaccination fever in children.

Features

 

  • Paracetamol 250 mg per 5 ml

Side effects of Crocin DS Suspension 60 ml
Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
  • Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
  • Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
  • Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.
  • Keep track of your diarrhoea symptoms. If they don't get better or worse or are accompanied by severe stomach pain, blood, or dehydration signs (like extreme thirst or dark urine), seek medical help.
  • Get urgent medical help if you notice abnormal lung sounds with symptoms, like bluish skin, flare-ups of your nostrils, or trouble breathing.
  • If you have asthma or allergies, managing these conditions with inhalers and bronchodilators can help prevent abnormal lung sounds.
  • Infections may need antibiotics or breathing therapy to help open your airways and make breathing easier.
  • Wash your hands regularly and take other steps to avoid getting sick and spreading germs.
  • Doing breathing exercises can help improve your lung function and make breathing easier.
  • Contact your physician right away if you suffer from hypoxia symptoms including chest pain, disorientation, or shortness of breath.
  • Your doctor can monitor your progress and modify treatment programs with the help of routine follow-up sessions.
  • Omega-3 supplements may support the transport of oxygen to tissues.
  • Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health and boosts oxygen delivery to tissues.
  • Quit smoking, as it can worsen hypoxia.
Here are the steps to manage the medication-triggered Cough:
  • Tell your doctor about the cough symptoms you're experiencing, which may be triggered by your medication.
  • Your doctor may adjust your treatment plan by changing your medication, adding new medications, or providing guidance on managing your cough symptoms.
  • Practice good hygiene, including frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with others, and avoiding sharing utensils or personal items.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, such as water, tea, or soup, to help thin out mucus and soothe your throat.
  • Get plenty of rest and engage in stress-reducing activities to help your body recover. If your cough persists or worsens, consult your doctor for further guidance.

What could be causing a fever, headache, and nighttime chills that keep coming back for over 10 days, even though taking Crocin temporarily relieves the symptoms?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

A recurring fever, headache, and chills lasting over ten days suggest your body is actively fighting an infection. While Crocin (paracetamol) helps reduce the fever temporarily, it only manages the symptoms rather than treating the root cause, which could be a persistent viral or bacterial infection. Because this has continued for more than a week, it is very important to consult a healthcare professional. They can recommend simple blood tests to identify the exact cause and guide you toward the right treatment. Please rest as much as possible and stay well-hydrated.

My 2-year-old son has a viral fever of 101?F with a wet cough and cold, but his fever returns within 4 hours of taking Meftal P (and Crocin is not working); is it safe to give him Meftal P every 4 hours, and what should I do about his hot head and cold hands and feet?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Do not give Meftal P (mefenamic acid) every 4 hours, as this can be unsafe; it should generally only be given every 6 to 8 hours. Cold hands and feet with a hot head is a common response as a child's fever rises. To comfort him, you can use room-temperature water for tepid sponging on his forehead and body, and keep him in comfortable clothing. Since the fever is returning quickly and Crocin (paracetamol) isn't providing relief, please consult his pediatrician promptly to safely review his dosages and evaluate his wet cough.

What should I do for my 6-year-old daughter whose fever reached 103.2?F today and keeps coming back despite using Crocin and Meftal, while her cough is worsening, her nose remains blocked, her energy is low, and she has not had a bowel movement in two days?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Because her fever is reaching 103.2?F, her cough is worsening, and her energy is low, she should be examined by a pediatrician today. In the meantime, keep her hydrated with frequent sips of water or clear broths, and use saline nasal drops to help clear her blocked nose. The temporary constipation is common when children are unwell and eating less. Please consult her doctor to ensure she gets the right care and starts feeling comfortable soon.

Is it normal for a 6-year-old child to sleep for more than 13 hours after taking Crocin DS for a fever, even though the fever is now gone?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

It is very common for children to sleep deeply and for longer periods after recovering from a fever. Their bodies use a lot of energy to fight off infections, and sleep is crucial for healing. While Crocin DS (paracetamol) itself does not typically cause drowsiness, the relief from fever allows your child to finally rest comfortably. As long as your child wakes up easily, is responsive, stays hydrated, and is breathing normally, this extra sleep is likely just a healthy recovery process. However, if they are difficult to wake up, unusually lethargic, or show other concerning symptoms, please consult your pediatrician immediately.

My son has had a 100?F fever since yesterday, and it keeps returning after his Crocin paracetamol suspension wears off; is it safe to let him sleep in an air-conditioned room all night, or can the cold air harm his health while he has a fever?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

It is completely safe to let your son sleep in an air-conditioned room. A comfortably cool room (around 24?26?C or 75?78?F) actually helps soothe a fever and prevents overheating. Just ensure the cold air vent does not blow directly on him, and dress him in light, breathable clothing. It is very common for a fever to return as the Crocin (paracetamol) wears off, as the medication's effect naturally lasts about 4 to 6 hours while his body fights the infection. Keep him well-hydrated, and please consult his pediatrician if the fever persists beyond three days or if he seems unusually fussy.

What should we do if my 20-month-old daughter, who weighs 9.3 kg, has a persistent 104?F fever from a viral infection (adenovirus) that is not coming down despite giving her Crocin, Meftal P, and Ibugesic syrups as prescribed?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

A persistent 104?F fever in a 20-month-old requires prompt evaluation by a pediatrician. Please stop giving both Meftal P (mefenamic acid) and Ibugesic (ibuprofen) together; both are NSAIDs, and combining them can harm her kidneys and stomach. You may safely alternate paracetamol (Crocin) with only one of the NSAIDs, strictly following the prescribed doses for her 9.3 kg weight. Meanwhile, keep her hydrated with frequent fluids, dress her in light clothing, and perform tepid water sponging to help lower her temperature. Seek immediate emergency care if she becomes extremely lethargic, refuses fluids, or has difficulty breathing.

What other fever medicine can I give my 9-year-old son (weighing 29 kg) to help lower his high fever of 102 to 103.2?F, since Crocin DS is not working and his pediatrician is away until tomorrow?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

Since Crocin DS (paracetamol) isn't fully bringing it down, you can consider giving ibuprofen, which is another safe option for children. For a 29 kg child, the typical dose of ibuprofen is 200 mg to 300 mg, but please check the packaging or consult a local pharmacist to confirm the exact liquid volume or tablet dose. You can also use lukewarm water sponging to help cool him down comfortably. Ensure he stays hydrated with plenty of fluids. If he becomes unusually drowsy, has difficulty breathing, or if the fever persists, please seek immediate medical care.

What medicines are recommended for a 6-year-old child weighing 16 kg who has a fever and a cold, what is the correct dosage of Crocin 120 for him, and how much time should I wait between doses of paracetamol?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

For your 6-year-old child weighing 16 kg, the correct dose of Crocin 120 (paracetamol) is 8 to 10 mL per dose. You must wait at least 4 to 6 hours between doses, and never give more than 4 doses in 24 hours. For the cold symptoms, simple saline nasal drops can help safely relieve congestion. Please avoid giving any over-the-counter combination cold or cough medicines without consulting your pediatrician first. Keep your child hydrated, and seek immediate medical attention if the fever persists for more than three days or if they become unusually lethargic.

Is it safe to give my 12-year-old daughter Crocin, Meftal Forte, and Azee for a 100.3?F fever and body aches, and could these symptoms indicate a serious illness?

Veda Maddala

Veda Maddala

M Pharmacy

A fever of 100.3?F is considered mild and is usually a normal sign of her body fighting off a common virus, rather than a serious illness. Please do not give these medications together. Crocin (paracetamol) and Meftal Forte both contain paracetamol; taking both can lead to an accidental overdose. Additionally, Azee (azithromycin) is an antibiotic and should only be given if prescribed by a doctor, as it will not help viral infections. Keep her comfortable and well-hydrated, and please consult her pediatrician to safely guide her treatment.

Can I mix paracetamol or Crocin with honey or fruit juice to help my 6-year-old daughter take her medicine without throwing it up?

Veda Maddala

Veda Maddala

M Pharmacy

Yes, you can absolutely mix paracetamol (or Crocin) with a small amount of fruit juice or honey to make it taste better. Since your daughter is six, honey is perfectly safe for her. Just be sure to mix the medicine with only a tiny spoonful of juice or honey rather than a full glass. This ensures she swallows the entire dose to feel better. If she continues to struggle with throwing up, please consult her pediatrician for alternative options.

FAQs

Crocin Suspension Double Strength 60 ml is a paediatric medicine primarily used to reduce high fever and relieve mild to moderate pain in children. Formulated with 250 mg of paracetamol per 5 ml, it effectively treats conditions like headaches, toothaches, body aches, and post-vaccination fever.
Because this is a "Double Strength" (250mg/5ml) formula, it is generally recommended for older toddlers and children (usually above 1 year or weighing over 10 kg).

You can administer a dose every 4 to 6 hours as needed. However, it is critical not to exceed a maximum of 4 doses within a 24-hour window to prevent liver toxicity.
