Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give too much of Cefit 50mg Tablet DT to my child?
Giving a larger dose than prescribed is unlikely to cause significant harm. However, contact a healthcare professional immediately for advice if you believe an overdose has occurred. Overdose can lead to unwanted side effects or worsen the child's condition.
Are there any serious side effects associated with Cefit 50mg Tablet DT?
Serious potential side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Consult your child's doctor immediately if experiencing any of these symptoms.
Can I give other medications along with Cefit 50mg Tablet DT at the same time?
It is important to inform your child’s doctor about all medications your child is taking before starting Cefit 50mg Tablet DT. Always seek guidance from a healthcare professional before administering any medicine.
Can I give my child vaccinations while on Cefit 50mg Tablet DT?
Antibiotics usually don't interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in vaccinated children. However, vaccination should be delayed until the child recovers from any illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests might my child need during long-term Cefit 50mg Tablet DT treatment?
The doctor may suggest regular kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's overall health while on the medication.
Is yellow-green mucus from my child’s nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose doesn’t necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus often thickens and changes color (from clear to yellow or green) during normal progression. Symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When is it appropriate to start an antibiotic, if necessary?
Viruses do not usually cause bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used for bacterial infections after consultation with your child's doctor.
Does Cefit 50mg Tablet DT impact the digestive system of my child?
Children may experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, and they might lose beneficial gut bacteria. This can increase the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea on Cefit 50mg Tablet DT, do not stop the medication course without consulting with a doctor. They may adjust the dosage.
Can Cefit 50mg Tablet DT lead to antibiotic resistance in my child?
Yes, improper use of antibiotics can contribute to antibiotic resistance. This means that bacteria are no longer affected by antibiotics and could lead to repeated infections.
