Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be taken at the same time as Credclav Dry Syrup?
Credclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Consult your child's doctor before giving any other medication to your child, and inform them of all other medications they are taking before starting Credclav Dry Syrup. This ensures safe use for your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Credclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not be vaccinated until they recover from the illness. Once your child is feeling better, you can give them their vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Credclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
With prolonged therapy, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to check your child's condition. This allows for adjustments in treatment if needed.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Credclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a higher than the recommended dose of this medicine can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Credclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless you have finished the full course of treatment. Even if you feel better, symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Continue using the medication for the entire duration as it may still be beneficial.
Can the use of Credclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Credclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. It's an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. Moreover, the medicine might affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach and cause diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration, such as less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine, consult a doctor before giving your child any additional medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most viral colds do not lead to secondary bacterial infections. In fact, using antibiotics in a viral cold increases the risk of side effects. Always consult your child's doctor before starting 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 automatically mean that antibiotics are necessary. During a common cold, mucus usually thickens and changes color, from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You must call your child’s doctor right away if they experience serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these side effects are severe and require expert care.
