Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Axclav Dry Syrup?
Axclav Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. It's important to inform your child’s doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and vitamins, before starting treatment. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any other medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Axclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics do not typically interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it's best to delay vaccination until your child has recovered from their illness. Once they are feeling better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Axclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, the doctor may order kidney and liver function tests for children taking prolonged therapy with Axclav Dry Syrup. This helps monitor their condition over time.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Axclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a dosage higher than recommended can increase risks of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptom severity, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Axclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine unless the full course of treatment is complete. Even if you feel better, it’s crucial to continue the prescribed medication. The symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
Can the use of Axclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Axclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea as it's an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. Additionally, this medication can disrupt the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach and lead to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration such as decreased urination, dark-colored urine with a strong odor, consult your doctor immediately. Do not give any other medicine without consulting your doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most cases do not, and the risk of bacterial infections after viral ones is low. It's important to only use antibiotics when advised by a medical professional after consultation with your child's doctor.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge is a common symptom during a cold and usually does not indicate the need for antibiotics. It's typical for mucus to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green during a cold, and symptoms often last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience: serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing or skin rash), gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea, and liver damage with symptoms such as weakness or pale skin accompanied by vomiting. Though rare, these side effects require professional medical attention.
