Introduction
Selluxy CV Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments. You can give Selluxy CV Dry Syrup to your child with or without food. It is better to give it with food as that helps increase absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset. The doctor may prescribe giving it two to three times a day. Medicine dose depends on the severity of the infection, its type, and your child’s body weight and age. So, stick to the dose, time, and way prescribed. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of intake, let the child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose.

How it works
Selluxy CV Dry Syrup is an antibiotic. It has two active agents, amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas, clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.
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. Your child may have a bitter taste in the mouth after the intake of Selluxy CV Dry Syrup. Eating citrus fruit or sipping plenty of water or fruit juice may help. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Never give Selluxy CV Dry Syrup until and unless prescribed by the doctor. Do not give Selluxy CV Dry Syrup to treat common cold and flu-like symptoms caused by viruses. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Check 'expiry' before giving Selluxy CV Dry Syrup to your child. Immediately discard all the expired medicines. Stop Selluxy CV Dry Syrup immediately if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulty. Report to the doctor without any delay.

Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Selluxy CV Dry Syrup?
It is essential to inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Selluxy CV Dry Syrup. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before giving any medicine to your child, as Selluxy CV Dry Syrup may interact with other medicines or substances.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Selluxy CV Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics, including Selluxy CV Dry Syrup, usually do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from the illness before getting vaccinated.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Selluxy CV Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
During prolonged therapy, your child's doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to ensure your child's condition remains stable.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Selluxy CV Dry Syrup to my child?
No, giving a higher dose of Selluxy CV Dry Syrup than recommended can increase the risk of side effects. If your child's symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Selluxy CV Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop giving Selluxy CV Dry Syrup to your child unless the full course of treatment is complete, even if symptoms improve. The infection may not be fully cured, and continued treatment is necessary to ensure a complete recovery.
Can the use of Selluxy CV Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Selluxy CV Dry Syrup may cause diarrhea due to its antibiotic properties, which can disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria in your child's stomach. If your child experiences diarrhea, encourage them to drink plenty of fluids and consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most of the time, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. It is essential to consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics, as they can increase the risk of side effects and may not be 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. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences severe allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). These side effects are rare but serious and require expert attention.
