Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think you have given too much of Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup to your child, immediately contact a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup?
Some serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for help in such a situation.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup?
Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It's crucial to inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup. Additionally, check with your child's doctor before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup?
Antibiotics usually don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children recently vaccinated. However, it is recommended to hold off on vaccinations until after your child recovers from the underlying illness. Once their condition improves, they can receive the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor might prescribe kidney function tests and liver function tests periodically to monitor your child's condition during prolonged use.
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 always indicate a need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus often thickens and changes color to yellow or green. These symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Sore throats and ear infections are mostly caused by viruses, and antibiotics aren't effective against them. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, barking cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's likely viral-related. Consult your child’s doctor for 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, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections could lead to side effects with no benefit for your child's health. Consult your doctor before starting antibiotics.
Can Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children have a sensitive stomach and may experience gastrointestinal upset when taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can also affect the good bacteria in their gut. Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup might kill off these good bacteria too, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup, don't stop the medication course. Contact your child’s doctor to discuss next steps.
Can Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Nyc Cef 100mg Syrup can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
