Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Sundoxim 100 Dry Syrup Orange?
Antibiotics generally don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children after vaccination. However, it is best to hold off on giving a vaccine until your child has recovered from the illness they are being treated for. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Sundoxim 100 Dry Syrup Orange on a long-term basis?
Doctors may order kidney function and liver function tests periodically to monitor your child's health.
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 always indicate a need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus can thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often resolve within 7 to 10 days.
My child is experiencing a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, antibiotic treatment is not necessary for these conditions as they are typically caused by viruses. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, barking cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it's likely due to a virus. Consult your child’s doctor.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should I start antibiotics?
In most cases, bacterial infections don't follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections is not advisable and may lead to side effects without providing any benefit. Antibiotics should only be used after consulting with your child’s doctor.

Many children experience digestive upset while taking antibiotics. Their good gut bacteria can also get affected during this process.

If your child has diarrhea while on Sundoxim 100 Dry Syrup Orange, do not stop the medication course immediately. Instead, contact your doctor to understand how to proceed.
Can Sundoxim 100 Dry Syrup Orange lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper use of antibiotics, such as repeated or unnecessary usage can contribute to bacterial resistance. This means that bacteria become less affected by the antibiotic and may spread resistance within your child.
