Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Divojet DS 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in children who have just been vaccinated. However, before giving any vaccine to your child, it's important to check with a medical professional after they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, the doctor can recommend if and when to give them a vaccination.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Divojet DS 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
To monitor your child's condition, their doctor might order periodic kidney function and liver function tests.
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 doesn't automatically mean your child needs antibiotics. During a common cold, this type of mucus often thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last for 7 to 10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, antibiotics are not needed for viral infections like sore throats or ear infections. A sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ears are most likely caused by a virus. Consult your child's doctor before giving any medication.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In the majority of cases, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. Antibiotics are not used for viral infections. Before starting antibiotics, consult your child’s doctor.
Can Divojet DS 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often have a sensitive stomach and can experience upset stomachs while taking antibiotics. The good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected by the medication as well. Divojet DS 50mg Dry Syrup can kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child has diarrhea while on Divojet DS 50mg Dry Syrup, don't stop the medicine course; instead, contact their doctor for guidance. In some cases, the doctor may adjust the dosage.
Can Divojet DS 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Divojet DS 50mg Dry Syrup can cause bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics. They may even return, leading to reinfection.
