Conditions like common cold and flu are caused by viruses. Never use this medicine for such conditions. Only give Vdpod 100mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Vdpod 100mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions. However, children taking antibiotics should not be vaccinated until they recover from the illness. Once your child feels better, the vaccine can be given. Consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Vdpod 100mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may recommend periodic kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's health while taking Vdpod 100mg Dry Syrup for a prolonged period.
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 bacterial infection. During a common cold, mucus can thicken and change color from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Sore throats and ear infections are often caused by viruses, not bacteria. Antibiotics do not treat viral infections, but they may cause harmful side effects if used for these conditions.
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 for viral infections could lead to side effects without benefitting your child's health. It is best to consult with your doctor before starting antibiotics.
Can Vdpod 100mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?

If your child is experiencing diarrhea while on Vdpod 100mg Dry Syrup, do not stop the medication course without consulting your doctor. Instead, contact them for further instructions.
Can Vdpod 100mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper use or overuse of Vdpod 100mg Dry Syrup can contribute to the development of bacterial resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by antibiotics and may require more intensive treatment.
