Frequently asked questions
What if I give too much of Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup by mistake?
An extra dose of Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup is unlikely to cause significant harm. However, it's crucial to contact a doctor immediately if you suspect your child has taken more than the prescribed dose. Overdosing may lead to unwanted side effects or worsen their condition.
Are there any possible serious side effects of Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Some possible serious side effects include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child's doctor in case of these or any other unusual symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup, inform your child's doctor about any other medicines they are taking. Always consult their doctor before administering any new medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not affect vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in vaccinated children. However, always consult a doctor before vaccinating your child while they are under medication. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
A doctor might order periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition throughout the treatment period.
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 mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, mucus may thicken and change color (from clear to yellow or green). Symptoms typically subside after 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not effective against them. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barking cough, pain, and discharge from the ears, it is 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 for viral infections is often ineffective and may lead to unwanted side effects without providing any benefit. Consult your child's doctor before starting antibiotics.
Can Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children have sensitive stomachs and may experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can disrupt the balance of good bacteria in their gut, potentially increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea on Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Please call your child's doctor to discuss further steps.
Can Q Pod 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes. Using antibiotics irresponsibly or when they are not needed, can contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This means that those bacteria may become more resistant to the effects of current antibiotics.
