Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Cepown 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
Giving more than the recommended dose of Cepown 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you believe you or your child may have overdosed, contact a doctor immediately. Overdose can lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen the condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Cepown 50mg Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. It's important to consult your child's doctor if you experience any such reactions.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cepown 50mg Dry Syrup?
Always inform your child's doctor about all medications they are taking before starting Cepown 50mg Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cepown 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently been immunized. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccines until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, it is possible to administer the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cepown 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodically, a doctor might order kidney function 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 a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus can thicken and change color, becoming yellow or green, which is normal. Symptoms often resolve within 7 to 10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. The majority of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, not bacteria. Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections. If your child experiences pain, inflammation, or discharge from their ears and nose, it's 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, bacteria do not follow viral infections. Antibiotics are not recommended for treating viral infections and could lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Cepown 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset when taking antibiotics, as they disrupt the balance of good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract. Cepown 50mg Dry Syrup may also kill off beneficial bacteria while combating harmful ones. If your child develops diarrhea on medication, do not stop the dosage without consulting a doctor. In some cases, a doctor may adjust the dosage.
Can Cepown 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes. Using antibiotics improperly or regularly can lead to drug resistance, making infections harder to treat. This can make it more challenging to combat future infections.
