Introduction
Mypod Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also used to treat typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Mypod 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 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 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 Mypod Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Mypod Dry Syrup by mistake?
While accidental overdose is uncommon, exceeding the prescribed dose might cause unwanted side effects. If you suspect an overdose, consult your child's healthcare provider immediately.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Mypod Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects of Mypod Dry Syrup include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Please contact your child's healthcare provider immediately for serious or prolonged symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Mypod Dry Syrup?
Mypod Dry Syrup may interact with other medications, so it is crucial to inform your child's healthcare provider about any medications they are currently taking before starting Mypod Dry Syrup. Always consult their doctor before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Mypod Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a negative reaction in children who have recently received one. However, it is important to follow your child's healthcare provider's advice regarding vaccination during antibiotic use. Your doctor can help you determine when to administer the vaccine after your child recovers from the illness.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Mypod Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
To monitor your child's overall health, regular kidney function tests and liver function tests might be recommended by their healthcare provider during prolonged treatment with Mypod 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 discharge from the nose during a common cold is not necessarily a sign of a bacterial infection. During this time, nasal mucus can thicken and change color. This typically lasts for 7-10 days and is usually part of the natural course of a viral illness.
My child has a sore throat and earache. Can I give antibiotics?
No, antibiotics are not used to treat sore throats or earaches that are caused by viruses. A virus is usually the cause of these conditions. Consult your doctor for appropriate 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, a viral infection does not lead to a bacterial infection. Using antibiotics for a viral infection can be harmful and may lead to resistance and side effects without achieving the desired effect. Speak to your child's doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Can Mypod Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children's digestive systems are sensitive, so they might experience stomach upset when taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can also harm the good bacteria in their gut, leading to a higher risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Mypod Dry Syrup, do not stop the course of medication. Contact your child's healthcare provider for further guidance and potential dose adjustments.
Can Mypod Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper antibiotic use, including the misuse or overuse of Mypod Dry Syrup can contribute to the development of bacterial resistance. This means that bacteria become less sensitive to antibiotics, making infections harder to treat.
