Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Imdox 50mg Tablet DT?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. When your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Imdox 50mg Tablet DT on a long-term basis?

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 does not necessarily mean that antibiotics are necessary. It is normal for mucus to thicken and change from clear to yellow or green during a common cold. Symptoms often last 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not effective against viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is most likely due to a virus. Consult your child’s doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections may lead to side effects without improving your child's health. Only use antibiotics after consulting with your child’s doctor.

Can Imdox 50mg Tablet DT lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
