How it works
Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
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. Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much of Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup?
Giving an extra dose of Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause serious harm. However, if you think your child has taken too much, it's crucial to contact a doctor immediately. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and could worsen their condition.
What are some possible serious side effects of Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects, though rare, can include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Consult a doctor immediately if your child experiences any such symptoms.
Can other medications be taken at the same time as Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup?
It's important to inform a doctor about all other medications your child is taking before starting Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup. Always get guidance from your child’s doctor regarding any new medicine administration.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics don't interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it’s recommended to hold off on vaccination until your child has recovered from any illness they may be experiencing. Once your child is feeling better, the doctor can provide guidance regarding the appropriate time for vaccination.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup long-term?
Periodic kidney function and liver function tests might be prescribed by a doctor, especially if your child is on long-term medication.
Why does my child’s mucus coming out of their nose appear yellow-green? Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose doesn't necessarily mean a bacterial infection. During common colds, mucus often thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. These symptoms usually subside within 7-10 days.
My child has a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Sore throats and ear infections are mostly caused by viruses, and antibiotics aren't effective against them. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is most likely a viral infection. Consult a doctor for guidance.
Does taking an antibiotic prevent a virus-related infection in children?
Antibiotics are not effective against viruses and can't prevent them. A virus-caused infection needs time to resolve naturally. Use antibiotics only after consulting your child’s doctor.
Can Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Some children experience stomach upset or discomfort when taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can disrupt the good bacteria in their digestive system, potentially increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course and contact a doctor immediately for guidance.
Can taking too much of Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, frequent use or misuse of Blisdox 50mg Dry Syrup may contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. This means that bacteria become resistant to antibiotics and are harder to treat.
