Q. Can I give Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup to my child repeatedly for a long time?
Giving your child Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup for a long time can cause fungal infection (oral thrush) in the mouth and severe gastrointestinal infections (superinfections). Therefore, do not alter the dose and duration on your own and give Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup to your child exactly as prescribed. Additionally, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup can make the bacteria resistant.
Q. Are there any possible serious side effects of Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup?
Although rare, Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup may cause some serious side effects such as persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergies, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup?
Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup?
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.
Q. The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
In the common cold, the mucus changes its color and thickens up with time, but this does not mean that your child needs antibiotics. Common cold symptoms often last for 7-10 days. In case they fail to clear up within this duration, reach out to your child’s doctor for guidance.
Q. Is Amoxycillin 125mg Syrup safe for children suffering from infectious mononucleosis?
