Q. Can I give Ampicillin 125mg Dry Syrup to my child repeatedly for a long time?
Giving your child Ampicillin 125mg Dry Syrup for a long term 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 Ampicillin 125mg Dry Syrup to your child exactly as prescribed. Additionally, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Ampicillin 125mg Dry Syrup can make the bacteria resistant.
Q. Are there any possible serious side effects of Ampicillin 125mg Dry Syrup?
Although rare, Ampicillin 125mg Dry Syrup may cause some serious side effects such as skin rash, allergy, superinfection, bleeding problems, seizures, and blood cell abnormalities. If your child experiences any such symptoms, consult the doctor at the earliest.

Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Ampicillin 125mg Dry 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 Ampicillin 125mg Dry Syrup safe for children suffering from infectious mononucleosis?
No, do not give this medicine to your child in this case as a high percentage of children with infectious mononucleosis develop a skin rash (erythematous rash) while taking Ampicillin 125mg Dry Syrup.
