Avicef O 50mg Dry Syrup 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 body weight 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 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.
