Anafortan Syrup is a combination drug primarily used to treat abdominal pain (stomach ache) in infants and children. A stomach ache is an ache localized in the stomach or abdominal region.

Anafortan Syrup contains Camylofin and Paracetamol. Camylofin efficiently relieves abdominal pain and cramps by relaxing the muscles of the stomach and gut. Paracetamol inhibits specific chemical messengers that induce pain and fever.

Anafortan Syrup is for paediatric use only. Give Anafortan Syrup to children as advised by the doctor. Anafortan Syrup may cause some common side effects such as irregular heartbeat, dry mouth, excessive thirst, difficulty in urination, constipation or flushing (sense of warmth in the ears, face, neck and trunk). Most of the side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your paediatrician.

If your child is allergic to any food or medicine, inform your doctor. Also, tell your child's entire medical history, including ongoing medications, to avoid unwanted effects and possible interactions. Do not give more than the prescribed dose. Do not use other cough medicines unless prescribed by the doctor.

Here are some general dietary and lifestyle guidelines to minimize stomach pain in children:

Diet:

• Small frequent meals: Dividing meals into smaller quantities throughout the day will aid digestion and prevent overeating, which can lead to stomach discomfort.
• Fibre-rich diet: Give children plenty of fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Fibre aids digestion and keeps things running smoothly.
• Hydration: Encourage your child to drink plenty of water all day. Dehydration can lead to constipation and stomach pain.
• Regular eating schedule: Eating and snacking regularly helps control digestion and prevents stomach distress.
• Limit processed foods: Processed foods frequently contain high levels of sugar, harmful fats, and artificial substances, which can irritate the digestive tract.
• Identify triggers: Keep a record of foods to monitor your child's eating habits and any subsequent stomach problems. This can assist in detecting potential food sensitivities or intolerances, such as lactose intolerance or gluten sensitivity.

Lifestyle:

• Regular exercise can assist in improving digestion and reducing stress, both of which can cause stomach pain.
• Adequate sleep: Ensure that your child receives enough sleep every night. Poor sleep can alter digestion and cause stomach ache.
• Manage stress: Stress may aggravate stomach issues. Assist your child in developing appropriate stress management strategies, such as relaxation techniques, yoga, or spending time in nature.
• Bathroom habits: Advise your child to use the restroom whenever needed and prevent straining during bowel movements.
