Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ximepex 50mg Oral Suspension?
Antibiotics typically don't interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause adverse reactions in children who have recently received a vaccine. However, before starting vaccination, consult your doctor to ensure there are no potential complications arising from both treatments.
Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Ximepex 50mg Oral Suspension on a long-term basis?

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 always indicate the need for antibiotics. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken and change from clear to yellow or green. The symptoms usually last between 7-10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No, antibiotics are not appropriate for treating viral infections like the ones causing a sore throat and earache. A bacterial infection can often be treated with antibiotics, but in this case, it's likely caused by 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 most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections can lead to side effects without providing any benefit for your child's health. If you are concerned about possible bacterial infection, consult with your doctor before starting treatment.
