Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be administered concurrently with Clavilite Dry Syrup?
Clavilite Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is crucial to inform your child's physician of any other medications they are taking before starting Clavilite Dry Syrup. Consulting with your child's doctor is also necessary before administering any medication to your child.
Can I receive vaccinations while my child is on treatment with Clavilite Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received vaccines. However, it's best to defer vaccinations until the child recovers from their illness. Once your child feels better, they can receive the vaccine as instructed by their doctor.
Which lab tests might my child undergo during long-term treatment with Clavilite Dry Syrup?
Prolonged therapy may necessitate periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function tests to assess your child's condition.
Can a higher dose of Clavilite Dry Syrup be administered than the recommended amount?
Giving a dosage higher than prescribed could increase risks of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Should I discontinue Clavilite Dry Syrup when symptoms improve?
No, you should not cease giving this medication to your child until the complete course of treatment is finished. Symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, continue the prescribed dosage for the full duration as it might provide further benefits.
Does Clavilite Dry Syrup cause diarrhea in children?
Yes, Clavilite Dry Syrup can induce diarrhea. This antibiotic works by killing harmful bacteria and may also disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in your child's gut, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists or you notice signs of dehydration (decreased urination, dark-colored and strong-smelling urine) and do not administer any other medication without consulting a medical professional.
Do all viral common colds lead to secondary bacterial infections?
Most viral common cold cases don't result in secondary bacterial infections. In fact, administering antibiotics during viral infection can even increase the risk of developing side effects. Seek your child's doctor’s advice before using antibiotics.
Is there a sign that indicates my child needs immediate medical attention?
If you observe any signs of severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rash), gastrointestinal distress (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), immediately seek your child's doctor’s urgent care.
