A member asked:
I accidentally gave my 2 year old 5ml of bromfed (brompheniramine) when she was supposed to get 2.5ml is she going to be ok?

Drug dose: Bromfed (brompheniramine) is the brand name for a combination of a decongestant and an antihistamine. You gave 2x the dose (probably for a cold). The antihistamine component will thicken the mucus and tire him out, the decongestant component will thin the mucus and speed him up. The more appropriate question for you should be "Why am I doing this??"
