Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Jadupox Dry Syrup by mistake?
Giving a larger dose of Jadupox Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think your child has taken an excess amount, seek immediate medical guidance. Overdose may trigger unwanted side effects and potentially worsen the condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Jadupox Dry Syrup?
Serious adverse reactions associated with this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for medical assistance in such situations.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Jadupox Dry Syrup?
Jadupox Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting treatment with Jadupox Dry Syrup. Please also consult your child's doctor before giving any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Jadupox Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions. However, children receiving antibiotics should avoid vaccination until they recover from their illness. Once your child feels better, vaccination can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Jadupox Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Periodic kidney function and liver function tests may be prescribed by the doctor to monitor your child's condition during prolonged treatment with Jadupox Dry Syrup.
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 indicate a need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus often thickens and changes color to yellow or green. Symptoms usually subside within 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 prescribed for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is likely a virus. Please consult with your child's doctor to receive 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 occur after viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections can lead to side effects without improving your child's health and may even harm their condition.
Can Jadupox Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience a sensitive stomach, and they may develop nausea while on antibiotics. The good bacteria in your child's gut may be affected by antibiotic treatment as well. Jadupox Dry Syrup might kill off good bacteria and increase the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while taking Jadupox Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, call your child’s doctor for further instructions or guidance.
Can Jadupox Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Jadupox Dry Syrup can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Bacteria that are not killed by antibiotics and become resistant may cause reinfection.
