How it works
Miglogard Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that 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 them 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 become resistant 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 Miglogard Dry 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.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Miglogard Dry Syrup by mistake?
Giving an extra dose of Miglogard Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you believe your child has overdosed on the syrup, seek immediate medical attention from a healthcare professional. Overdose may lead to side effects and worsen the child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Miglogard Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects can include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Consult a doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Miglogard Dry Syrup?
Miglogard Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting Miglogard Dry Syrup. It is crucial to consult your doctor for guidance on any new medication administration.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Miglogard Dry Syrup?
Most antibiotics do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines and don't usually cause adverse reactions. However, it is best to avoid vaccinating your child during an active infection or until they are fully recovered from their illness. Once symptoms subside, follow your doctor's guidance for vaccination.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Miglogard Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor might recommend regular kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition. These tests help detect potential issues with their organs.
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 doesn't necessarily indicate a bacterial infection. A common cold often causes mucus to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
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 are not directly caused by viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections could lead to unwanted side effects with no benefit for your child's health. Always consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Miglogard Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children are sensitive to stomach upset when taking antibiotics, and their gut bacteria can also be affected. Miglogard Dry Syrup may interfere with beneficial gut bacteria, increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Miglogard Dry Syrup, contact your doctor for further instructions. The dose might need adjustment.
Can Miglogard Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Miglogard Dry Syrup can contribute to bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
How long should I take Miglogard Dry Syrup?
Miglogard Dry Syrup is typically prescribed for 7-14 days. It's crucial to adhere to your doctor's instructions regarding the duration of treatment and follow the prescribed dosage.
