Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken with Augstar Syrup?
It's essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Augstar Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any other medicine to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Augstar Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it's recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Augstar Syrup for an extended period?
Prolonged therapy may require periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Augstar Syrup than recommended?
No, giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Augstar Syrup to my child when their symptoms improve?
No, do not stop giving this medicine unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if your child's symptoms improve. The infection may not be fully cured, and continuing the medicine may still be beneficial.
Can Augstar Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Augstar Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as infrequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give any other medicine to your child without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics in viral infections can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Is yellow-green mucus in my child's nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Are there any signs that indicate my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should contact your child's doctor immediately if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require medical attention.
