Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect you have given too much of Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup to your child, immediately consult a doctor. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen your child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for guidance in such situations.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause a reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they recover from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
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 does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a virus. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often have a sensitive stomach and may develop stomach upset while taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected. Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Can Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Cellpod 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
