Introduction
Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also used to treat typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
Directions for Use
Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect.
How it works
Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or become resistant or cause another infection. Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give too much of Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Giving an extra dose of Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you suspect your child has taken too much of the medicine, contact their doctor immediately. An overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any serious potential side effects from taking Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some severe side effects associated with this medication include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If your child experiences any of these symptoms, consult their doctor for guidance.
Can other medications be taken alongside Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are currently taking before starting the antibiotic course. Also, consult their doctor before administering any additional medication to your child.
Can my child receive a vaccine while on treatment with Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from their illness before receiving a vaccine.
What laboratory tests may be necessary for my child while on long-term treatment with Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Is yellow or green mucus in the nose a sign of bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
My child has a sore throat and ear infection; can I give them antibiotics?
No, as more than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses and therefore do not require antibiotics. If your child is experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, or discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a viral infection. Consult their doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by a virus always lead to bacterial infection? When should I start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may instead cause side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with their doctor.
Can Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup affect my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset when taking antibiotics. The good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected, and Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup can kill off these beneficial bacteria along with the bad ones, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course; instead, consult their doctor for further guidance.
Can Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Crownpod 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. These resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may cause reinfection.
