Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Taxim-O Drops?

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.

Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Taxim-O Drops on a long-term basis?

The doctor may prescribe getting kidney function tests and liver function tests periodically to keep a check on your child’s condition.

The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?

Golden or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.

My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?

No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by a virus and antibiotics are not given for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is most likely because of a virus. Consult your child’s doctor to seek guidance.

Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?

In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may instead lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Employ antibiotics only after consulting with your child’s doctor.

Can Taxim-O Drops impact my child’s digestive system?

Children often have a sensitive stomach and develop a stomach upset while taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract may take a hit too. Taxim-O Drops may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad, increasing the risk of developing other infections. In case your child is having diarrhea while on Taxim-O Drops, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask about the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose.

Can Taxim-O Drops lead to bacterial resistance in my child?

Affirmative, irregular treatment, repeated use,, and misuse of Taxim-O Drops can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.
