Your child’s medicine at a glance

Nornia Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine. It helps treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children, such as infections of the ear, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

It is best if you give Nornia Dry Syrup to your child an hour before or two hours after meals as that ensures better absorption. However, switch to giving it with food if your child develops a stomach upset. Make sure to adhere to the dose, time, and way mentioned by your doctor as it is advised depending upon the type and severity of the infection. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again but do not double dose if it's the time for the next dose.

Nornia Dry Syrup may have some mild side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and mild skin rash. These side effects usually go away on their own. However, if these side effects persist or start bothering your child, speak to your child’s doctor immediately.

Make sure the doctor knows if your child has ever suffered from any allergies, heart diseases, blood problems, birth defects, airway blockage, lung disorder, digestive troubles, skin problems, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. Sharing your child’s entire medical history will make it easier for the doctor to decide the most appropriate doses and design your child’s treatment plan.

In Treatment of Bacterial infections

Nornia Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine which effectively treats a range of bacterial infections. It also helps treat tonsillitis and pneumonia caused due to bacterial infection in the airways and lungs.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Nornia Dry Syrup?

Nornia Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Nornia Dry Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

My child is suffering from anemia and is on oral iron therapy. Is it safe to give Nornia Dry Syrup along with it?

It is not advised to give Nornia Dry Syrup with oral iron therapy as it binds to iron preparation in your child’s digestive system and can result in reddish stools.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Nornia 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.

What laboratory tests will the doctor ask for while my child is taking Nornia Dry Syrup 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?

The color of the mucus cannot be used to understand whether your child needs antibiotics or not. It is normal for the mucus to change color during a common cold infection.

Can Nornia Dry Syrup affect my child’s digestive system?

Diarrhea is a common side effect of antibiotics because apart from killing the bad bacteria, antibiotics may unintentionally kill the good ones too. On top of that, children often have a sensitive stomach which increases the risk of developing other infections. In case your child is having diarrhea while on Nornia Dry Syrup, 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.
