Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Cocoxy DS Dry Syrup?
Concurrent administration of Cocoxy DS Dry Syrup with other medications or substances may occur, requiring a consultation with your healthcare professional. Always inform your child's doctor about all other medications being taken before starting Cocoxy DS Dry Syrup to ensure safe and appropriate usage.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Cocoxy DS Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received vaccines. However, it is important to consult your child's healthcare provider before administering any medication during the vaccination process.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cocoxy DS Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged treatment, periodic assessments of kidney and liver function are recommended to ensure your child's health. Your doctor will provide specific guidance regarding the frequency of these tests.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Cocoxy DS Dry Syrup to my child?
It is not advisable to exceed the recommended dosage of this medication as it may increase the likelihood and severity of side effects. If you experience an increase in symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Cocoxy DS Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
It is crucial not to cease treatment without the advice of a medical professional. Even if you notice symptom improvement, continue administering the medication as prescribed until the full course is completed. This ensures that the benefits extend beyond initial relief.
Can the use of Cocoxy DS Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Cocoxy DS Dry Syrup may induce diarrhea. The antibiotic action of this medication impacts both harmful bacteria and beneficial gut bacteria in children. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids; consult your doctor for persistent issues or signs of dehydration, such as reduced urine output with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While most cases of a common cold do not develop secondary bacterial infections, antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your child's healthcare provider. This is because administering them during the initial stage of the virus might increase the risk of 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 nasal discharge is not necessarily indicative of a bacterial infection. These changes are normal during the course of a common cold as mucus thickens and changes color during this period. Typically, symptoms last 7 to 10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical assistance if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties or skin rashes), gastrointestinal complications (diarrhea), and liver damage (such as weakness, paleness, and vomiting). While these side effects are rare, they require urgent medical attention.
