Welclave Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that is resistant to other treatments.

How it works
Welclave Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT is an antibiotic. It has two active agents amoxycillin and clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) essential for the survival of the bacteria. Whereas clavulanic acid serves a special purpose of inhibiting an enzyme (beta-lactamase) that is produced by resistant bacteria. This makes the combination of amoxycillin and clavulanic acid an effective line of treatment for many types of infections.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Welclave Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT?

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Welclave Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT on a long-term basis?
In cases of prolonged treatment, your child's doctor might recommend monitoring kidney and liver function to ensure the medication is having a positive effect and doesn't cause any complications.
Can I give a higher than the recommended dose of Welclave Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT to my child?
Giving a higher dose than prescribed can increase the risk of potential side effects. If your child experiences increased symptoms, please consult with their doctor for re-evaluation.
Can I stop giving Welclave Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT to my child when the symptoms are relieved?
Do not stop using this medicine without your doctor's approval, even if your child is experiencing relief from symptoms. It may take some time for the infection to be completely cleared. Continue following the prescribed treatment plan as directed by your doctor.
Can the use of Welclave Kid 200mg/28.5mg Tablet DT cause diarrhea?
Yes, it is possible for this medicine to cause diarrhea. It's important to remember that antibiotics generally work by killing harmful bacteria and may alter the balance of good bacteria in your child’s gut. Diarrhea can be a common side effect, especially during the initial stages. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids if they experience diarrhea. If you are concerned about this, contact your doctor.
Do all viral common colds result in secondary bacterial infection?
While most of the time, bacterial infections don’t follow viral infections, it is important to consult with your child's doctor before administering antibiotics. These medications are only necessary when a bacterial infection has been confirmed.
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, it's normal for mucus to thicken and change color, typically from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last 7-10 days.
Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?
Seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, skin rash), gastrointestinal symptoms like severe diarrhea and vomiting, or signs of liver damage such as weakness or pallor. Though rare, these side effects need expert medical attention.
