My child is suffering from liver failure and his investigations showed high blood ammonia levels. Is it safe to give Antiwud LB 50mg Dry Syrup Orange?
No. Giving Antiwud LB 50mg Dry Syrup Orange is not recommended as it contains lactobacillus, which could further elevate blood ammonia levels and increase the risk of serious complications like coma in a child with liver failure.
What if I give too much of Antiwud LB 50mg Dry Syrup Orange by mistake?
Avoid giving more than the recommended dose because overdose may cause unwanted side effects and could worsen your child's condition. Although an extra dose of Antiwud LB 50mg Dry Syrup Orange is unlikely to harm, if you believe you have given too much of Antiwud LB 50mg Dry Syrup Orange to your child, immediately contact a doctor.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Antiwud LB 50mg Dry Syrup Orange?
In rare cases, Antiwud LB 50mg Dry Syrup Orange may cause some serious side effects such as persistent vomiting and allergic reactions. Always consult your child's doctor for help if you encounter any such problems.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Antiwud LB 50mg Dry Syrup Orange?
Antibiotics can sometimes interact with other medications or substances. Always inform your child's doctor about all the medications your child is taking before starting Antiwud LB 50mg Dry Syrup Orange, and seek professional guidance on giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Antiwud LB 50mg Dry Syrup Orange?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
No, yellow or green mucus in the nose does not signify that antibiotics are needed. It is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green as a common cold progresses. If symptoms last for 7-10 days and there is no significant improvement, then it might be worth consulting your doctor.
