Frequently asked questions
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Subclav Dry Syrup?
Subclav Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. It is crucial to inform your child's healthcare provider about any other medications your child is taking before starting Subclav Dry Syrup. Additionally, it is essential to consult your child's doctor regarding the administration of any medicine to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Subclav Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a reaction in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is generally recommended to delay vaccination until your child recovers from the underlying illness before administering any further medications. Upon recovery, the vaccine can be administered as per your doctor's recommendation.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Subclav Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The physician may periodically monitor kidney and liver function tests for patients receiving prolonged therapy. This is to ensure the proper functioning of these organs.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Subclav Dry Syrup to my child?
It is not advisable to administer a higher dosage of this medication without consulting your physician. Exceeding the prescribed dose may increase the likelihood of side effects. If your child experiences a worsening of symptoms, contact your child's doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Subclav Dry Syrup to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue this medication unless you have completed the entire prescribed course. The symptoms may improve before the infection is fully eliminated. Therefore, continue administering the medicine as per your doctor's instructions.
Can Subclav Dry Syrup cause diarrhea?
Subclav Dry Syrup may lead to diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that targets harmful bacteria. In addition, the medication may disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in your child’s digestive system, leading to diarrhea. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if experiencing diarrhea and contact their doctor for further guidance if it persists or you notice signs of dehydration such as reduced urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not occur alongside viral infections. However, it is important to consult your child's doctor before administering antibiotics if there are any signs of a potential bacterial infection. Antibiotics should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is this a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not automatically indicate a bacterial infection. It's often a normal response during a common cold. Symptoms typically subside within 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rash), gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, or liver damage manifested by weakness and paleness alongside vomiting.
