Overview Afado 100 Dry Syrup

Pedimed 100 Dry Syrup, an antibiotic, treats various bacterial infections in children and adolescents. Its uses encompass ear, eye, nose, throat, lung, skin, digestive, and urinary tract infections, including typhoid fever. Administer one hour before or two hours after meals; if stomach upset occurs, give with food. Always follow the prescribed dosage, tailored to the infection's severity, and your child's age and weight. If your child vomits the medication within 30 minutes, repeat the dose (unless it's nearly time for the next dose). Avoid using this antibiotic for typical cold or flu symptoms, as it's ineffective against viral infections; doctors only prescribe it for coughs and colds with secondary bacterial infections. Minor, temporary side effects like vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, rash, or headache may occur, usually subsiding with continued use. Persistent or severe side effects warrant immediate medical attention. Before administering, fully disclose your child's medical history to their physician, including allergies, heart conditions, blood disorders, birth defects, breathing problems, lung issues, digestive problems, skin conditions, liver problems, and kidney issues. This is crucial for accurate dosing and treatment planning.
