Introduction
Axind Drop is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies. You can give Axind Drop to your child with or without food. It is better to give it with food as that helps increase absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset. The doctor may prescribe giving it two to three times a day. Medicine dose depends on the severity of the infection, its type, and your child’s body weight and age. So, stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of intake, let the child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose.

How it works
Axind Drop is an antibiotic. It has two active agents, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas, clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Axind Drop until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Axind Drop to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check 'expiry' before giving Axind Drop to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Axind Drop?
It's essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they're taking before starting Axind Drop. Additionally, consult with their doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Axind Drop?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it's recommended to wait until the child has recovered from their illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Axind Drop on a long-term basis?
Regular monitoring of kidney and liver function tests may be required during prolonged therapy to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Axind Drop to my child?
No, administering a higher dose than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If symptoms worsen, consult with your child's doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Axind Drop to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Continue giving the medicine for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before completion. This ensures the infection is fully cured and the beneficial effects of the medication persist.
Can the use of Axind Drop cause diarrhea?
Yes, Axind Drop may cause diarrhea as it kills harmful bacteria while also affecting helpful bacteria in the stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if diarrhea occurs. Consult with a doctor if symptoms persist and signs of dehydration are noticed.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Mostly, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics in viral infections can increase the risk of side effects, so consult with your child's doctor before administering medication.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color; 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 (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require expert attention.
