Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much Abixim 50 Oral Suspension by mistake?
An extra dose of Abixim 50 Oral Suspension is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you believe you have given your child more than the recommended dose, contact a medical professional immediately. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and could worsen their condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Abixim 50 Oral Suspension?
Serious side effects of this medicine can include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always seek help from your child’s doctor if you encounter any such symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Abixim 50 Oral Suspension?
It's important to consult a healthcare professional before administering Abixim 50 Oral Suspension in combination with other medications or substances. This can involve explaining any existing medications your child is on, and ensuring that potential interactions are considered.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Abixim 50 Oral Suspension?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, always follow your doctor’s guidance regarding vaccination schedules, as certain infections may require further evaluation.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Abixim 50 Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor might recommend kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's overall health during prolonged treatment.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose doesn't automatically mean that antibiotics are needed. It’s normal for mucus to thicken during a common cold and change color (from clear to yellow or green). Symptoms usually subside within 7-10 days.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Antibiotics are typically only necessary for specific bacteria-related infections and should be prescribed only after consulting with your child’s doctor.
Can Abixim 50 Oral Suspension impact my child’s digestive system?
Children's stomachs can be sensitive, leading to stomach upset when taking antibiotics. Antibiotics also disrupt the balance of good bacteria in their gut, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Abixim 50 Oral Suspension, consult a doctor for guidance regarding dosage adjustments or other steps.
Can Abixim 50 Oral Suspension lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, if taken without proper medical supervision, overuse of Abixim 50 Oral Suspension can contribute to the development of drug-resistant bacteria. This means that these bacteria are no longer killed by the prescribed antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
How long should I take Abixim 50 Oral Suspension?
Abixim 50 Oral Suspension is generally prescribed for 7-14 days. Always follow your doctor's instructions for the full course of medication.
