Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Spaclav Dry Syrup?
Spaclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before starting this medication, inform your child's doctor about any other medicine they are taking. Consultation with a healthcare professional is also advisable before administering any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Spaclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or trigger adverse reactions in children who have recently received vaccinations. However, it is advisable to avoid vaccination until your child recovers from the illness and feels better. Once your child recovers, they can receive a vaccine after consulting their doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Spaclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
Prolonged therapy might require periodic kidney and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition. These checks are performed by the doctor.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Spaclav Dry Syrup to my child?
Giving a dosage exceeding the recommended amount of this medicine can increase risks of side effects. If your child experiences worsening symptoms, consult their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Spaclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication until the entire course of treatment is completed. Even if you feel better, symptoms may improve before complete infection clearance. Continue taking the medicine as per the doctor's instruction for a full recovery.
Can the use of Spaclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Yes, Spaclav Dry Syrup can cause diarrhea. This is due to its antibiotic nature, which kills harmful bacteria in your child's body. It may also disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in their digestive system, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If the symptoms persist and signs of dehydration (reduced urination, dark-colored and strong-smelling urine) are observed, consult a doctor before administering any other medication.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
Most times, bacterial infections don't follow viral ones. Using antibiotics in viral infections can increase the risk of side effects for your child. Only use these medications after consulting a doctor.
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 isn't a reason for antibiotic use. During a common cold, your child's mucus can thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. This typically lasts 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience severe allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). While rare, these side effects require expert intervention.
