Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cefipan 50mg Tablet DT?

The doctor might recommend periodic kidney function and liver function tests during long-term treatment to monitor the child's health.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?

Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not develop following viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections is generally ineffective and can have unwanted side effects without improving your child's health. Consult with your doctor before starting antibiotics.
