Frequently asked questions

Can I give other medications along with Felixim Dry Syrup?
Interactions between Felixim Dry Syrup and other medications can occur. Consult with your child's doctor about any other medications or supplements they are taking before starting Felixim Dry Syrup. Always check for potential interactions with your child's healthcare provider.
Can I schedule vaccinations while my child is taking Felixim Dry Syrup?
Most vaccines do not interfere with the ingredients in Felixim Dry Syrup or cause a negative reaction. However, it's generally recommended to wait for your child's illness to clear up before getting vaccinated. Consult with your doctor about scheduling vaccinations once your child feels well.
Are there any lab tests needed while using Felixim Dry Syrup long-term?
Periodic kidney and liver function tests are often recommended by a doctor when using Felixim Dry Syrup on a long-term basis, to monitor the child’s health.
My child's nose has mucus that is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge in a child does not always mean a bacterial infection. It is common during a viral cold, and symptoms often last for 7 to 10 days. If there's an issue, consult with your doctor.
Do we need antibiotics when a virus causes a secondary bacterial infection? When can we start them to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacteria do not follow viral infections. Antibiotics are only needed if there is evidence of a bacterial infection after the initial illness has been treated. Your child’s doctor can advise on this.
How does Felixim Dry Syrup affect my child's digestive system?
Some children experience gastrointestinal upset when taking antibiotics. Taking antibiotics might also disrupt the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Felixim Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course without consulting with their doctor.
Can prolonged use of Felixim Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance?
Yes, improper antibiotic use can contribute to bacterial resistance. Using antibiotics too often or inappropriately will cause bacteria to become immune to the medication, making future infections harder to treat.
How long should I take Felixim Dry Syrup?
Felixim Dry Syrup is usually prescribed for 7 to 14 days. It's important to complete your child’s full course as advised by their doctor.
