Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Tivpod 50mg Tablet DT?
Antibiotics typically don't interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause negative reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is advisable for children taking antibiotics to not receive vaccines until they recover from the illness. Once your child feels better, you can administer the vaccine.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Tivpod 50mg Tablet DT on a long-term basis?
The doctor might recommend periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition during long-term treatment with Tivpod 50mg Tablet DT.
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 a need for antibiotics. During a common cold, mucus often thickens and changes color from clear to yellow or green. These symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not used to treat viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, or discharge from the ear, it's most likely due to a virus. Consult your child's doctor for guidance.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When should antibiotics be started to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Consult your child's doctor for advice if you have any concerns.
Can Tivpod 50mg Tablet DT impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset when taking antibiotics. The good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract can be affected as well during treatment with Tivpod 50mg Tablet DT.

If your child is experiencing diarrhea while on Tivpod 50mg Tablet DT, do not stop taking the medication without consulting a doctor; instead, contact them to find out what next steps to take.
Can Tivpod 50mg Tablet DT lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
