Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause harm. However, if you think you have given too much of Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup to your child, immediately contact a doctor. Overdose may lead to unwanted side effects and could worsen your child's condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor for help in such situations.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup?
Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Tell your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup. Always check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should avoid getting vaccinated until they have recovered from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may prescribe periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition. This helps ensure that the treatment is safe and effective.
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 always mean a bacterial infection needs to be treated with antibiotics. During a common cold, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not given for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's most likely due to a virus. Please 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 do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may have unintended consequences without improving your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child’s doctor.
Can Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience a sensitive stomach and develop stomach upset while taking antibiotics. The good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract can also be negatively affected during this period, potentially contributing to an increase in other infections. If your child is experiencing diarrhea while on Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course without first consulting with your child's doctor. They may suggest adjustments to the dose or provide alternative treatment options.
Can Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Podclip 50mg Dry Syrup can contribute to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
