Can other medicines be given at the same time as Sanixim 50mg Dry Syrup?

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Sanixim 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Sanixim 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may order periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition. These tests can help identify potential complications.
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 automatically indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, this is normal as mucus often thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. These symptoms usually last 7-10 days.
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 don't follow viral infections. Antibiotic use for treating viral infections may not benefit your child and could even cause side effects without achieving better health outcomes. Only use antibiotics after consulting with your doctor.

Children's stomachs are sensitive, and taking antibiotics can cause stomach upset. The good bacteria in their gut may be affected too during this treatment. Sanixim 50mg Dry Syrup might kill off these beneficial bacteria along with the harmful ones, increasing the risk of other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while on Sanixim 50mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course. Instead, contact your child's doctor to discuss the next steps.
Can Sanixim 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
