Are there any serious possible side effects associated with Wotor 50mg Syrup?

Can other medications be taken simultaneously with Wotor 50mg Syrup?

Is it safe to vaccinate a child while on treatment with Wotor 50mg Syrup?
Antibiotics generally do not interfere with vaccine ingredients or cause adverse reactions in children who have just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should wait until they recover from the illness before getting vaccinated.
Which laboratory tests may be required for a child undergoing long-term treatment with Wotor 50mg Syrup?
The doctor might recommend periodic kidney function tests and liver function tests to monitor the child's condition.
What does yellow-green nasal mucus indicate?
Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily signify a bacterial infection. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change color; symptoms often last for 7-10 days.
Does a viral infection always lead to a secondary bacterial infection? When should an antibiotic be used to prevent infection?
In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may result in side effects without benefiting the child's health. Consult with your child's doctor before using antibiotics.
Can Wotor 50mg Syrup impact a child's digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset while taking antibiotics, and the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may be affected.

Wotor 50mg Syrup is typically prescribed for 7-14 days, and it is essential to complete the full treatment duration as advised by your doctor.
