Benefits of CO2 Dry Syrup Mango for your child

In Typhoid fever

Typhoid fever spreads through the intake of contaminated food and water. Children who have typhoid and do not require hospital admission can be well managed with CO2 Dry Syrup Mango at home because of its excellent activity against organisms that cause typhoid fever.

In Treatment of Bacterial infections

CO2 Dry Syrup Mango is a combination of two different antibiotics that work together, in different ways, to treat various bacterial infections. Cefixime works by stopping the growth of bacteria and kills them. Ofloxacin prevents multiplication and repair of infection causing bacteria and prevents further spread of the infection.

This combination medicine can be used to treat many different bacterial infections such as ear, sinus, throat, lung, urinary tract, skin and soft tissues. It usually makes you feel better within a few days, but you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make sure that all bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.

FAQs

What if I give too much of CO2 Dry Syrup Mango by mistake?

An extra dose of CO2 Dry Syrup Mango is unlikely to do harm. However, you must still be vigilant because overdoses may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition. If you think you have given too much of CO2 Dry Syrup Mango to your child, speak to a doctor immediately.

Are there any possible serious side effects of CO2 Dry Syrup Mango?

Some serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.

Can other medicines be given at the same time as CO2 Dry Syrup Mango?

CO2 Dry Syrup Mango can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting CO2 Dry Syrup Mango. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with CO2 Dry Syrup Mango?

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.

Can CO2 Dry Syrup Mango impact my child’s digestion?

Children often have a sensitive stomach and develop a stomach upset while taking antibiotics. When antibiotics are given, the medicine may kill off the good bacteria along with the bad ones, increasing the risk of developing other infections. In case your child is having diarrhea while on CO2 Dry Syrup Mango, do not stop the medicine course. Instead, call your child’s doctor to ask about the next steps. In some cases, the doctor may alter the dose.

Can CO2 Dry Syrup Mango lead to bacterial resistance in my child?

Yes, the infection-causing bacteria can become resistant to CO2 Dry Syrup Mango because of irregular dosing, unrequired repeated use, and misuse of CO2 Dry Syrup Mango can lead to resistance. Resistant bacteria are no longer killed by the antibiotics and may lead to reinfection.

What should I tell the doctor before giving CO2 Dry Syrup Mango to my child?

Inform the doctor if your child is suffering from heart disease, genetic disorders involving blood vessels, seizures, psychiatric disorders, diabetes, photoallergy (allergy from sunlight), neuromuscular disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis. This is because there is a possibility that CO2 Dry Syrup Mango may aggravate these conditions and result in complications.
