How it works
Cefpozest 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.

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 Cefpozest 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, it's unlikely that antibiotics will be prescribed for viral infections like sore throats and ear infections, as they are caused by viruses rather than bacteria. Consult your child's doctor to determine the best course of action.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
