Avoid giving more than the recommended dose because overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition.

Are there any possible serious side effects of Imfix 50mg Tablet DT?

In rare cases, Imfix 50mg Tablet DT may cause some serious side effects such as persistent vomiting, kidney damage, and allergy. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Imfix 50mg Tablet DT?

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Imfix 50mg Tablet DT?

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?

No, yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. It is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. With symptoms often lasting for 7-10 days, this is exactly how a common cold generally progresses.
