Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Lifcef LB DS Dry Syrup?

Which lab tests may my child undergo while on long-term treatment with Lifcef LB DS 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 bacterial infection, and antibiotics are not always necessary for viral colds. During a common cold, nasal discharge typically thickens up and changes color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last 7-10 days.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should antibiotics be used to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacteria infections do not follow viral infections. Antibiotic use for treating viral infections is unnecessary and can lead to side effects without benefitting your child's health. Antibiotics are only prescribed after consultation with a healthcare professional.
