Yes, Drocef Syrup may rarely cause some serious side effects. These include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, severe diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.

Question 3

Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Drocef Syrup?

Question 4

Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Drocef Syrup?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

Q. Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Drocef Syrup on a long-term basis?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 6

Q. My child has a runny nose and I can see yellow-green color mucus oozing out from my child’s nose. What does it indicate?

Accepted Answer

During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. This color change of mucus does not necessarily indicate the need for antibiotics. These symptoms often last for 7-10 days.  However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Question 7

Q. Can Drocef Syrup impact my child’s digestive system?

Accepted Answer

Children generally have a sensitive stomach, and they may develop a stomach upset while taking medicines. Drocef Syrup is an antibiotic and its use may affect or compromise the good bacteria in their gastrointestinal tract. It may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad and increase the risk of developing other infections. In case your child is having diarrhea while on Drocef Syrup, do not abruptly stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask about the next steps. The doctor may suggest an alternative dose to reduce the chances of such side effects.

Question 8

Q. Can Drocef Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?

Accepted Answer

Yes, irregular treatment, repeated use, and misuse of Drocef Syrup can lead to bacterial resistance. This means that whenever next required, the same antibiotic may not be effective, and a different antibiotic may be needed for your child, which too may not work or cause increased side-effects.
