Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Bilclav 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet DT?
In general, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccines or cause reactions in children who have recently received them. However, it is recommended that your child's doctor assesses the need for vaccination after a course of antibiotics has been completed as per their illness and potential side effects.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Bilclav 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet DT on a long-term basis?
The doctor may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests during prolonged treatment with this medication to assess your child's health.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Bilclav 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet DT to my child?
Giving a higher dose of this medicine can increase the risks of side effects, so it is important not to exceed the recommended dosage as prescribed by your doctor.
Can I stop giving Bilclav 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet DT to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop the medication unless you have completed the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor. Symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured, so it is crucial to continue the medication until the doctor advises otherwise.
Can the use of Bilclav 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet DT cause diarrhea?
Yes, Bilclav 200 mg/28.5 mg Tablet DT can cause diarrhea. This is because it kills harmful bacteria in the body and also affects the beneficial bacteria in the child’s stomach.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for a viral infection can increase your child's risk of side effects, so it is crucial to use them only when prescribed by a doctor.
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 is not necessarily a sign that antibiotics are needed for your child. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. These symptoms typically last for 7-10 days. If you notice any other unusual signs such as breathing difficulty or severe swelling of the face, consult with your doctor immediately.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal problems (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting) it is important to seek immediate medical attention. These symptoms can be indicative of complications and require professional assessment.
