Introduction
Pazocef 25mg Oral Drops is best given an hour before or two hours after meals as that ensures better absorption. In case your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with meals. The dose and duration depend upon the type and severity of the infection, so stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again but do not double the dose if it's the time for the next dose. Do not give this medicine to your child in case of cold and flu symptoms as they are usually caused by viruses and antibiotics don’t treat viral infections. Doctors prescribe this medicine for cough and cold only when they detect any underlying secondary bacterial infection.

Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Pazocef 25mg Oral Drops 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.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Pazocef 25mg Oral Drops?
Antibiotics typically don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who recently received vaccinations. However, it is recommended to wait until your child recovers from their illness before administering a vaccine. Once your child feels better, they can receive the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Pazocef 25mg Oral Drops on a long-term basis?

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 a need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus often changes color from clear to yellow or green as it thickens. These symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Antibiotics are only used for bacterial infections, not viral ones like the common cold. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, barking cough, pain, and discharge from their ear, they may have a virus and antibiotics are not necessary.
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 do not follow viral ones. Using antibiotics for viral infections is unnecessary and might lead to side effects without improving your child's health. Always consult your child's doctor before starting any treatment.
