Can my child receive vaccinations while on treatment with Fixipril 50mg Dry Syrup?

What lab tests may be required for my child while taking Fixipril 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may order periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Is yellow-green mucus from the nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. This symptom can occur during a common cold, which is usually caused by a virus. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Does a viral infection always lead to a secondary bacterial infection? When should antibiotics be started to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to unnecessary side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult with your child's doctor about when to use antibiotics.
Can Fixipril 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset and diarrhea while taking antibiotics.

If your child experiences diarrhea while on Fixipril 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, consult with their doctor for guidance.
Can Fixipril 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
