Opox 25mg Oral Drops is an antibiotic medication. It is commonly given to children for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections targeting the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It is also effective in treating typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
Give this medication to your child an hour before or two hours after meals. If your child develops a stomach upset, prefer giving it with food. Make sure to stick to the recommended dose because it is given keeping in mind the type of infection, its severity, and the age and bodyweight of your child. In case your child gags and expels the medication within 30 mins of intake, repeat the same dose but do not double the dose if it’s the time for the next dose. Do not give this medication to your child in case of cold and flu symptoms as this medication is an antibiotic and doesn’t work on infections cautilized by viruses. Doctors prescribe this medication for cough and cold only when they detect any underlying secondary bacterial infection. Some of the minor and temporary side effects of this medication include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, rash, and headache. Usually, these episodes subside once your child’s body adapts to the medication. However, if these effects persist or become bothersome for your child, call the doctor right away.
Narrate your child’s complete medical history to your child’s doctor, including any previous episodes of allergy, heart problem, blood disorder, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, gastrointestinal problem, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction. This information is critical for dose alterations and for planning your child’s overall treatment.
