Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Ryclav Dry Syrup?
Ryclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances. Before starting treatment, inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking. Always consult a healthcare professional for any medication administration to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ryclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children after vaccination. However, waiting until your child recovers from the illness before administering a vaccine is recommended. After the initial recovery, you can administer the vaccine as per your doctor's guidance.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Ryclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Under prolonged therapy, periodic kidney and liver function tests are often conducted to monitor your child's condition. These tests help track potential side effects of the treatment.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Ryclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Do not exceed the recommended dosage of Ryclav Dry Syrup. Any increase in dosage may heighten the risk of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult with your doctor for an appropriate evaluation and adjustment.
Can I stop giving Ryclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not discontinue treatment without consulting a doctor, even if you notice symptom improvement. The infection may be partially cured but could still benefit from continued treatment as it might prevent recurrence. Follow your doctor's instructions for complete course of therapy.
Can the use of Ryclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Ryclav Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic nature and potential impact on gut flora. To manage diarrhea, encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids and consult with a doctor if symptoms persist or if you notice signs of dehydration such as infrequent urination and dark-colored urine with a strong odor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Usually, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Antibiotic use in viral infections can increase the risk of side effects. Seek guidance from your child's doctor to determine if antibiotics are necessary.
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 the need for antibiotics and is often a normal part of the common cold progression. Symptoms typically last 7 to 10 days, and you should contact your child's doctor if there are other concerning signs or symptoms.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention for your child in the following situations: severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these are serious side effects requiring urgent intervention.
