Product introduction

Fycef 25mg Oral Drops may be given with or without food. Give it regularly and give it at a fixed time each day for best results. In case your child develops an upset stomach, prefer giving it with meals. The dose and the duration of the treatment will depend on the type and severity of the infection. Follow the prescribed schedule and instructions given by your child’s doctor.

Do not give this medicine to your child in case of cold and flu symptoms, as they are usually caused by viruses, and antibiotics do not treat viral infections. Doctors prescribe this medicine for cough and cold only when they detect any underlying secondary bacterial infection.

This medicine may have some minor and temporary side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. However, if these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, report them to the doctor.

Share your child’s full medical history with the doctor. Include any past allergies, heart issues, or blood disorders. Mention birth defects, airway blockages, or lung anomalies. Inform about digestive problems, skin conditions, or liver and kidney issues. This helps ensure safe and effective treatment. This information is important for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.

An extra dose of Fycef 25mg Oral Drops is unlikely to harm. However, if you think you have given too much of Fycef 25mg Oral Drops to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. An overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition.

Are there any possible serious side effects of Fycef 25mg Oral Drops?

Some serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Fycef 25mg Oral Drops?

Fycef 25mg Oral Drops can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Fycef 25mg Oral Drops. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Fycef 25mg Oral Drops?

Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Fycef 25mg Oral Drops on a long-term basis?

The doctor may prescribe getting kidney function tests and liver function tests periodically to keep a check on your child’s condition.

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 mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.

My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?

No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by a virus and antibiotics are not given for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is most likely because of a virus. Consult your child’s doctor to seek guidance.

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 may instead lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Use antibiotics only after consulting with your child’s doctor.

Can Fycef 25mg Oral Drops impact my child’s digestive system?

Children often have a sensitive stomach and develop a stomach upset while taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may take a hit too. Fycef 25mg Oral Drops may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. In case your child is having diarrhea while on Fycef 25mg Oral Drops, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask about the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose.

Can Fycef 25mg Oral Drops lead to bacterial resistance in my child?

Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use,, and misuse of Fycef 25mg Oral Drops can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
