Introduction
Infemox CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Infemox CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Infemox CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet?
Infemox CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet may interact with other medicines or substances. It is important to tell your child's doctor about all the medications your child is taking before starting this treatment. Consulting with your doctor is recommended for any new medication administration.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Infemox CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet?
Antibiotics are not known to interfere with vaccines or cause negative reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children should not be given vaccines until they recover from the illness. Once your child is feeling better, the vaccine can be administered. Always consult a doctor for specific vaccination recommendations.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Infemox CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet on a long-term basis?
Depending on the duration of treatment, a doctor might monitor kidney and liver function periodically to assess your child's condition.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Infemox CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child?
Giving a higher than prescribed dose of this medication can increase risks of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, please consult your doctor for reevaluation.
Can I stop giving Infemox CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, you should not stop giving this medication without completing the full course, even if you feel better. It's possible that symptoms will improve before the infection is fully eradicated. Continue with the prescribed dose for the entire duration as it may still be providing benefits.
Can the use of Infemox CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet cause diarrhea?
Yes, Infemox CV Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet can cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. In addition to that, the medication may affect the beneficial bacteria in your child's stomach and cause diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids if they experience diarrhea. If diarrhea persists, contact a doctor as it could indicate dehydration. Do not give any other medicine to your child without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most often, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. In fact, giving antibiotics for viral infections may increase the risk of side effects. It is crucial to consult a doctor before administering any antibiotic if your child's symptoms are caused by a possible bacterial infection.
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 always indicate a bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus thickens and changes from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
You should immediately contact your child's doctor if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects need expert medical attention.
