Patient's question:
Hello, my child is a girl, 11 years old. She has been coughing for some time, and the doctor has prescribed some bottled medication. So, I would like to ask how long after opening the cough medicine can it not be consumed.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you tighten the bottle cap promptly and store it in the refrigerator at a low temperature, it generally does not exceed one month in summer or three months in winter. When taking the medicine again, observe whether the liquid has changed in appearance. If bubbles, suspended particles, or discoloration are found, it indicates that the medicine has expired and should no longer be used. It is recommended that children maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light, thin, and soft foods, and drink plenty of hot water.
