An extra dose of Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think you may have given your child too much Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup, consult with a doctor immediately. Overdose can lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects may include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for help in such situations.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup?
Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medicines they are taking before starting Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup. It is also crucial to seek guidance from a doctor before giving your child any medicine.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received them. However, children taking antibiotics should not be vaccinated until they are fully recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, their vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney function and liver function tests may be prescribed during long-term Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup treatment to monitor your child's health.
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, the mucus may thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. These symptoms usually last 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Most (over 80%) of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, for which antibiotics are not prescribed. If your child experiences a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is likely caused by a virus. Consult a doctor to seek guidance.
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, bacteria infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may provide no benefit and could lead to side effects. Seek your child's doctor's guidance before administering antibiotics.
Can Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can negatively affect the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract, potentially increasing the risk of infections. If your child is experiencing diarrhea on Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, call your doctor for advice on the next steps. Your doctor might adjust the dose based on their assessment.
Can Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper use, long-term use, or misuse of Asdox 100mg Dry Syrup can contribute to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are not killed by antibiotics and may result in reinfection.
