Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Codmox CV DDS Dry Syrup?

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Codmox CV DDS Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Your doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically during prolonged therapy with Codmox CV DDS Dry Syrup to keep track of your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Codmox CV DDS Dry Syrup to my child?

Can I stop giving Codmox CV DDS Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?

Can the use of Codmox CV DDS Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Codmox CV DDS Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea by killing harmful bacteria and affecting helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. Talk to your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can increase the risk of side effects. Consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
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 necessarily mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken up and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor right away if they experience serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but require expert attention.
