FAQs

Can I give Amoxycillin 125mg Oral Suspension to my child repeatedly for a long time?

Therefore, do not alter the dose and duration on your own and give Amoxycillin 125mg Oral Suspension to your child exactly as prescribed. Additionally, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Amoxycillin 125mg Oral Suspension can make the bacteria resistant.

Are there any possible serious side effects of Amoxycillin 125mg Oral Suspension?

Although rare, Amoxycillin 125mg Oral Suspension may cause some serious side effects such as persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Amoxycillin 125mg Oral Suspension?

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.

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.
