How it works
Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension is an antibiotic. It works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment.
Quick Tips
Your child must complete the entire course of antibiotics. Stopping too soon may cause the bacteria to multiply again or cause another infection. Give this medicine with food to avoid an upset stomach. Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect. Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses. Stop this medicine and immediately report to your child’s doctor in case your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties while taking this medicine.

Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your child's doctor about any other medications they are taking before starting Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension. Additionally, consult with their doctor before administering any other medication to your child.
Can my child receive vaccinations while taking Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics typically do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently been vaccinated. However, it is recommended to wait until your child has recovered from their illness before receiving a vaccine. Once they feel better, the vaccine can be administered.
What lab tests may my child undergo while taking Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension long-term?
Your child's doctor may recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor their condition while taking Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension.
Is yellow-green mucus in my child's nose a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color. Symptoms usually last for 7-10 days.
Can I give antibiotics to my child for a sore throat and ear infection?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not prescribed for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is 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 to start an antibiotic 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. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child's doctor.
Can Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension impact my child's digestive system?
Children often have sensitive stomachs and may experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics. Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension may kill off the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract, increasing the risk of developing other infections. If your child experiences diarrhea while taking Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension, do not stop the medication course. Instead, consult with their doctor for guidance.
Can Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Tridaxin 50mg Oral Suspension can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
