Frequently asked questions
What should I do if my child takes too much Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup accidentally?
If you think your child has taken an extra dose of Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup, speak with a doctor right away. Overdosing on antibiotics can lead to unwanted side effects and potentially worsen the underlying condition.
Are there serious potential side effects associated with taking Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some severe side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. If your child experiences any of these symptoms, consult a doctor for guidance.
Can other medications be taken simultaneously with Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup?
Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Before starting the antibiotic course, inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking. Also, consult a doctor before giving your child any additional medicine.
Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup?
Typically, antibiotics do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, it's recommended that children taking antibiotics delay vaccination until they recover from their illness.
Which lab tests might be required for my child while on long-term treatment with Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Is yellow-green mucus a sign of a bacterial infection in my child?
A common cold can cause the mucus to thicken up and turn yellow or green. In most cases, antibiotics are not needed as symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
My child has a sore throat and ear infection. Should I give them antibiotics?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, so antibiotics should not be given. If your child exhibits symptoms like a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, or discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a viral infection. Consult with your child's doctor for guidance.
Will a common cold caused by a virus always lead to a secondary 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 your child's doctor.
Can Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset when taking antibiotics, and the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected. When antibiotics are given, they can kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child develops diarrhea while on Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medicine course but consult a doctor for guidance.
Can Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, or misuse of Doxry 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. When bacteria become resistant, they are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may cause reinfection.
