Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Chemross 228.5mg Dry Syrup?

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Chemross 228.5mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged treatment, regular monitoring of kidney and liver function will be recommended to assess your child's overall health.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Chemross 228.5mg Dry Syrup to my child?

Can I stop giving Chemross 228.5mg Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue the medication before completing the full course of treatment, even if your child experiences improvement. The symptoms may improve earlier than the infection is completely cured. It's crucial to continue the medication for its entire duration.
Can the use of Chemross 228.5mg Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Chemross 228.5mg Dry Syrup may trigger diarrhea in some cases. This is because it works by killing harmful bacteria.

Most viral cold cases are not accompanied by a secondary bacterial infection. It's important to note that using antibiotics for a viral infection can increase the risk of side effects and is generally not recommended. Consult your child’s doctor before starting any medication.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?

Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
If you notice signs of a severe allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal problems (severe diarrhea or vomiting), or liver damage (weakness, pale complexion, vomiting) in your child, contact their doctor immediately. These symptoms are serious and require professional medical assistance.
