FAQs
Can I give Aristocillin 125mg Dry Syrup to my child repeatedly for a long time?

Are there any possible serious side effects of Aristocillin 125mg Dry Syrup?

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Aristocillin 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.
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.
Is Aristocillin 125mg Dry Syrup safe for children suffering from infectious mononucleosis?
