Clavulanic acid supports this action by blocking a substance that some bacteria produce to resist antibiotics. Together, they help treat various bacterial infections.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as Pedi AG Drop?

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

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Pedi AG Drop?

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 Pedi AG Drop on a long-term basis?

With prolonged therapy, the doctor may monitor kidney and liver function tests periodically to keep a check on your child’s condition.

Can I give a higher dose than the recommended dose of Pedi AG Drop to my child?

No, giving a higher than recommended dose of this medicine can increase the risks of side effects. If your child experiences increased severity of symptoms, please consult your doctor for reevaluation.

Can I stop giving Pedi AG Drop to my child when the symptoms are relieved?

No, do not stop giving this medicine to your child unless the full course of the treatment is complete, even if you feel better. The symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Hence, continue giving the medicine in due course, as it may still be showing beneficial effects.

Can the use of Pedi AG Drop cause diarrhea?

Yes, Pedi AG Drop may cause diarrhea. It is an antibiotic that kills harmful bacteria. In addition to that, the medicine may also affect the helpful bacteria in your child’s stomach and cause diarrhea. In case of diarrhea, encourage your child to drink plenty of water or other fluids. Talk to your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice any signs of dehydration, like less frequent urination with dark-colored and strong-smelling urine. Do not give any other medicine to your child without consulting a doctor.

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

Yellow 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.

Is there any sign that shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?

You must call your child’s doctor right away if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Though rare, these side effects are serious and need an expert’s attention.
