Viravan-S and cough

My son is 3 and he had sported a flemmy cough so long that Doctor gave him Viravan. He warned me that its may make him hyper or alter his mood. Well, at 1/2 teaspoon at 8PM, he was still wide awake at 1AM! It doesn't seem to change his mood, even during the day after the morning dose, but no sleep is NO sleep. Yes, this drug keeps my son awake and he still has the cough. Not so good. I wish better luck for other children.

My 3 yr old was put on viravan 1 tsp 2x a day. He turned into a monster child. I would be very cautious with theis med!!!!It is very potent! I check the label after I noticed how wild he became and it said only 1/2 tsp for his age. Well, he had been on it for 3-4 days, so I just stopped it all together. His cough is back, but no way will I put him through that again ...ever!! He is still crazy from it. Very aggressive and no reaction to correctioon what so ever. He is usually a very well mannoer child, and I hope thiss goes away soon!! GOOD LUCK!
