Can other medicines be given at the same time as Qufix Dry Syrup?

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Qufix Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Qufix Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?

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 lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
