Use:
it is an antibiotic. It is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in children, including infections of the ears, eyes, noses, throats, lungs, and skin, as well as gastrointestinal infections.
Indication:
This medication works by blocking the growth of the bacteria that causes the infection and preventing them from multiplying. This stops the infection from spreading. It should be taken once a day, usually in the morning. For typhoid, it should be taken twice a day. It can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it with food as children often have sensitive stomachs and may experience stomach upset. The dose, timing, and method of administration of this medicine should be followed by your child’s doctor. If your child vomits 30 minutes after taking this medicine, repeat the same dose.
Side Effects:
Your child may begin to feel better within two days of taking the medicine on a regular basis. However, you should always take the full prescribed dose and never stop taking it suddenly as this can worsen your child’s condition or make them more likely to get re-infected. Some of the mild and temporary side effects include vomiting, diarrhoea, nausea, and abdominal pain. These side effects usually go away once your child’s body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or become more severe for your child, contact your child’s doctor immediately.
Safety Advice:
Tell your child’s doctor about any prior episodes of allergies, heart issues, liver issues, or kidney issues. Knowing your child’s medical history is important for dose adjustments and treatment planning.
