Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Amyclav Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children after vaccination. However, it's recommended to avoid administering vaccines until your child recovers from the illness and feels better. Once symptoms resolve, follow your doctor's guidance for vaccinating.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Amyclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests during prolonged therapy to ensure your child's well-being.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Amyclav Dry Syrup to my child?

Can I stop giving Amyclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, you shouldn't discontinue this medication until completing the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured, so continue the medicine according to doctor's advice for proper healing.
Can the use of Amyclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Amyclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea as it is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. This can also affect beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach and may lead to diarrhea. If so, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids like water or electrolyte drinks. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration such as decreased urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Never administer any other medicine without consulting a medical professional.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral common colds don't result in secondary bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used after consultation with your child's doctor if indicated, as they can increase the risk of side effects and complications.
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 does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection during a common cold. It's normal for mucus to thicken and change colors from clear to yellow or green, often lasting 7-10 days. If you notice any other concerning symptoms like severe breathing difficulties, rash, or other alarming signs, contact your child's doctor immediately.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If your child experiences severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rash), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting) immediately contact your child's doctor. These symptoms are serious and require immediate attention.
