Your child’s medicine at a glance
Clavam
Dry Syrup is an antibiotic medicine that helps treat bacterial
infections of the ear, nose, throat, chest, lungs, teeth, skin, and
urinary tract. It is capable of killing bacteria that have become
resistant to other therapies and thus also helps treat tuberculosis that
is resistant to other treatments.
You can give Clavam Dry Syrup
to your child with or without food. It is better to give it with food as
that helps increase absorption and decrease the risk of stomach upset.
The doctor may prescribe giving it two to three times a day. Medicine
dose depends on the severity of the infection, its type, and your
child’s body weight and age. So, stick to the dose, time, and way
prescribed. If your child vomits the medicine within 30 minutes of
intake, let the child calm down and repeat the dose. Do not double dose
if it's the time for the next dose.
Clavam Dry Syrup may cause
vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, dark colored urine, and
allergy. These side effects should diminish on their own. But, in case
they persist or start bothering your child, you must not delay speaking
to your child’s doctor.
Share your child’s entire medical history
with the doctor, including any previous episode of allergy, heart
problem, blood disorder, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung
anomaly, gastrointestinal problem, skin disorder, liver impairment, and
kidney malfunction. This information will assist the doctor in making
dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.
