How it works
Jakdoxim 100mg Syrup is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Jakdoxim 100mg Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Jakdoxim 100mg Syrup?
Generally, antibiotics do not interfere with the effectiveness of vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children receiving them. However, it's crucial to wait until your child has recovered from their illness before scheduling vaccinations. Once your child feels better, you can discuss vaccination options with their healthcare provider.
What lab tests might be necessary for long-term Jakdoxim 100mg Syrup use?

My child has a yellow-green discharge from their nose. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate a bacterial infection, as this is a common occurrence during a common cold. If your child's symptoms persist for 7-10 days, it's important to consult a healthcare professional.
Can I give antibiotics to my child with a sore throat and ear infection?
No, antibiotics are not necessary for common colds or viral infections. Sore throats and ear infections caused by viruses generally resolve on their own. Consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns.
When should I use antibiotics for my child's sore throat and ear infection?
Antibiotics should only be used in cases where a bacterial infection is confirmed by a healthcare professional. In most cases, viral infections cause common cold symptoms like sore throat and earache without requiring antibiotic treatment.

If your child experiences diarrhea while on Jakdoxim 100mg Syrup, don't stop the medication course without consulting a healthcare professional.
