How it works
Podoxifresh 50mg 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 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 Podoxifresh 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can my child get vaccinated while on treatment with Podoxifresh 50mg Dry Syrup?

Which lab tests may my child undergo while on long-term treatment with Podoxifresh 50mg Dry Syrup?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition.
Is yellow-green mucus a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. This coloration is common during a viral cold, which often lasts 7-10 days.
Can I give my child antibiotics for a sore throat and ear infection?
No, as more than 80% of these cases are caused by viruses and do not require antibiotics. Consult your child's doctor to determine the best course of action.

In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections may cause side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult with your child's doctor before starting any antibiotic treatment.
