Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Bacsil C Dry Syrup?
When giving your child Bacsil C Dry Syrup, it is essential to inform your doctor about any other medications they are currently taking. This will help prevent potential interactions that could affect their condition. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before administering any other medication to them.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Bacsil C Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics like Bacsil C Dry Syrup do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to delay vaccination until your child has recovered from their illness and their symptoms have improved.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Bacsil C Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy with Bacsil C Dry Syrup, regular monitoring of kidney and liver function tests may be necessary to ensure your child's health is being effectively managed.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Bacsil C Dry Syrup to my child?
To avoid increased risks of side effects, it is crucial not to exceed the recommended dosage of Bacsil C Dry Syrup. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult with their doctor for re-evaluation and guidance.
Can I stop giving Bacsil C Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
It is essential to complete the full course of treatment with Bacsil C Dry Syrup, even if symptoms improve before the infection is fully cured. Stopping the medication prematurely may allow the infection to persist and cause further complications.
Can the use of Bacsil C Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Bacsil C Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which kill harmful bacteria but may also affect beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach. In case of diarrhea, encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If symptoms persist and you notice signs of dehydration, consult with their doctor immediately.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Mostly, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. However, antibiotics should only be used after consulting a doctor to minimize the risk of side effects.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
A yellow or green nasal discharge does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics, as this can occur during a common cold. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days before resolving on their own.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage symptoms (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but serious and require prompt expert attention.
