Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your child's doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics like Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting them vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy with Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup to my child?
It is crucial not to give your child a higher dose of Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup than recommended, as this can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation and guidance.
Can I stop giving Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, it is essential to complete the full course of treatment with Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup, even if your child's symptoms improve before the infection is fully cured. Stopping the medicine prematurely may lead to incomplete treatment and potential complications.
Can the use of Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Moxikind-CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea as an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. It may also affect the helpful bacteria in your child's stomach, leading to diarrhea. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Consult your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, such as reduced urine output with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give your child any other medicine without consulting a doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics in viral infections can increase the risk of side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
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 the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these side effects are serious and require medical attention.
