Can other medicines be given at the same time as Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup?
Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medicines they are taking before starting Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup. Also, check with their doctor before giving any additional medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from their illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Is yellow or green mucus in the nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Does a viral cold 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. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often experience a sensitive stomach and develop upset while taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected. Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, contact their doctor to ask about the next steps.
Can Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
How long should I take Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup?
Arofix 50mg Dry Syrup is usually prescribed for 7-14 days. You should take it for the full duration of your treatment as advised by your doctor.
