Introduction
Numox Kid Tablet DT is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.
Directions for Use
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection.
How it works
Numox Kid Tablet DT is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.
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. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Numox Kid Tablet DT until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Numox Kid Tablet DT to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Check ‘expiry’ before giving Numox Kid Tablet DT to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines.

Frequently asked questions
What medications can be taken simultaneously with Numox Kid Tablet DT?
Numox Kid Tablet DT may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Numox Kid Tablet DT. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can vaccinations be given while on treatment with Numox Kid Tablet DT?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
What laboratory tests may be performed on a long-term basis while taking Numox Kid Tablet DT?
With prolonged therapy, the doctor may conduct periodic kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Can I give my child a higher dose of Numox Kid Tablet DT than recommended?
No, administering a higher dose of this medication can increase the risk of side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms severity, please consult with your doctor for re-evaluation.
Should I stop giving Numox Kid Tablet DT to my child when symptoms subside?
No, do not discontinue treatment unless the full course is completed, even if symptoms improve. The infection may still be present and the medication may continue to show beneficial effects.
Can Numox Kid Tablet DT cause diarrhea?
Yes, this medication can cause diarrhea as it kills harmful bacteria and may also affect helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. In case of diarrhea, encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. If symptoms persist and dehydration signs are noticed (infrequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine), consult a doctor without giving any additional medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infections?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Giving antibiotics in viral infection can increase your child's risk of developing side effects. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
What does yellow-green mucus in my child's nose indicate?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
When should I seek immediate medical attention for my child?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and require expert attention.
