Introduction
Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective in treating infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also used to treat typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup is an antibiotic that 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 become resistant 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 Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup to your child for their current infection. Never save medicine for future illnesses.

Are there any possible serious side effects of Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup?
Serious side effects of this medicine can include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergic reactions, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if your child experiences these symptoms.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup?
Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup may interact with other medications or substances. Always inform your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup. It's also important to consult with your doctor before administering any medication to your child.
Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children already vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not receive vaccinations until they have recovered from the underlying illness. Once your child recovers, they can then be given a vaccine as directed by their doctor.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?
The doctor may recommend regular kidney function and liver function tests to monitor your child's condition during long-term treatment.
The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
Yellow or green nasal discharge does not necessarily indicate a need for antibiotics. In typical cases, with a common cold, this type of mucus thickening and changes in color are normal. These symptoms typically last for 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Antibiotics are not suitable for treating viral infections like the sore throat and ear infection. These conditions are usually caused by viruses, not bacteria. If your child has symptoms like a painful sore throat, runny nose, barking cough, pain, and discharge from the ears, it is most likely a virus.
Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
In general, viral infections do not lead to bacterial infections. Using antibiotics for viral infections is not helpful and can cause side effects without improving your child's health. Please seek guidance from a doctor before starting any antibiotic treatment.
Can Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience upset stomachs while taking antibiotics. Additionally, the good bacteria in their gut may be impacted by these medications. Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup can also potentially harm these beneficial bacteria, increasing the risk of other infections.
Can Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, improper treatment, recurring use, and misuse of Wiom 50mg Dry Syrup can lead to antibiotic resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer affected by antibiotics and may cause reinfection.
