The health department on Monday ordered an enquiry into a complaint that a cough medicine dispensed by a government hospital here had worms and fungus in it.
Chief Medical Officer U.N. Khan said there will be an enquiry into the complaint received against state-run J.P. Hospital here.
The complainant, O.P. Sharma, told reporters that he took his ill son on Sunday for treatment to the J.P. Hospital where he received a cough medicine on a doctor's prescription.
While taking the medicine, his son noticed worms in the dose, said Sharma who also saw fungus in the phial.
He said he then made a complaint to the medical officer.
