Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Xtrapod 100 Oral Suspension?

Periodically, your doctor might recommend kidney function and liver function tests as a part of monitoring the child's health when using Xtrapod 100 Oral Suspension for an extended 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 typically thickens and changes color, but the symptoms usually subside within 7 to 10 days.
My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. Most sore throats and ear infections are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are not effective against them. If your child has pain, a barking cough, discharge from their ears or a runny nose, consult your child's doctor.
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. Prescribing antibiotics for a virus can lead to potential side effects without offering any benefit. Always consult your child's doctor before starting antibiotics.
Can Xtrapod 100 Oral Suspension impact my child’s digestive system?
Children often experience stomach upset when taking antibiotics. Antibiotics can also affect the good bacteria in their gut, potentially leading to more frequent or severe infections. If your child develops diarrhea while on Xtrapod 100 Oral Suspension, do not stop the medication course. Instead, contact your doctor for further instructions.
Can Xtrapod 100 Oral Suspension lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, this is a potential risk when using antibiotics irregularly or unnecessarily. Overusing and misuse can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. If you experience such issues, consult your doctor for advice and possible adjustments to treatment.
