Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cifigold Dry Syrup?
Cifigold Dry Syrup may interact with certain medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about all medications and supplements they are taking before starting Cifigold Dry Syrup, and always consult their doctor for medication instructions regarding your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cifigold Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it's best to wait until your child recovers from their illness before administering any new medications. Once your child shows signs of improvement, the vaccine can be administered as recommended by their doctor.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
No, yellow or green mucus in the nose is not indicative of a bacterial infection. It is normal for mucus to change color and thicken up as a common cold progresses. This usually lasts 7-10 days.
