Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Clavlon Dry Syrup?
Clavlon Dry Syrup may interact with other medications. Before starting this medication, inform your child's healthcare provider of all other medications they are taking. It is crucial to get your child's doctor's approval before administering any medicine to a child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Clavlon Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received one. However, it is recommended to hold off on vaccinations until your child has recovered from the illness, as this may avoid complications.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Clavlon Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Long-term therapy with Clavlon Dry Syrup may require periodic monitoring of kidney and liver function to assess your child's health status. Your child's doctor will advise on appropriate testing.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Clavlon Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a dose higher than the prescribed amount may increase risks of adverse side effects. If you notice any worsening symptoms, consult your child's doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Clavlon Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
It is essential not to abruptly discontinue this medication without completing the prescribed course. Symptoms may improve before complete cure, so continue with the full course of treatment.
Can Clavlon Dry Syrup cause diarrhea in children?
Yes, Clavlon Dry Syrup can potentially cause diarrhea. This medication works by killing harmful bacteria and could also affect your child's stomach microbiome, leading to diarrhea. Encourage drinking plenty of fluids if your child experiences diarrhea and seek guidance from your doctor if symptoms persist or indicate dehydration (less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine). Do not administer any other medications without consulting a healthcare professional.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Viruses often precede bacterial infections. Antibiotics should only be used when prescribed by your child's doctor and following proper guidance, as this can increase the risk of complications or side effects.
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 automatically indicate a bacterial infection. It's common during a typical cold. Symptoms typically last for 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should immediately contact your child's doctor if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These symptoms are uncommon but may pose a serious threat and need expert intervention.
