Frequently asked questions
What if I accidentally give my child too much Tefloc CL Dry Syrup?
If you suspect that your child has taken an excessive dose of Tefloc CL Dry Syrup, please consult with their doctor immediately. While an extra dose is unlikely to cause harm, overdosing can increase the risk of adverse effects and potentially worsen their condition.
Are there any serious side effects associated with Tefloc CL Dry Syrup?
This medicine may lead to severe side effects, including persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal infections. In such cases, please seek guidance from your child's doctor for proper assistance.
Can other medications be taken simultaneously with Tefloc CL Dry Syrup?
Tefloc CL Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Before administering this medicine to your child, inform their doctor about any other medications they are taking. Additionally, consult their doctor before providing any medication to your child.
Can my child be vaccinated while on treatment with Tefloc CL Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended that children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have fully recovered from their illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be administered.
Is yellow-green mucus a sign of a bacterial infection?
The color and texture of nasal mucus do not necessarily indicate the type of infection present. Therefore, yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean that antibiotics are required. Common cold symptoms often last 7-10 days, during which time the mucus may change texture and color.
Can I give my child antibiotics for a sore throat and ear infection?
No, as more than 80% of these conditions are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. If your child experiences symptoms such as a sore throat, runny nose, barky cough, pain, or discharge from the ear, it is likely due to a viral infection. Please consult their doctor for guidance.
