In most cases, bacterial infections do not follow viral infections. Using antibiotics to treat viral infections may instead lead to side effects without benefiting your child's health. Hence, you must give antibiotics to your child only after consulting with your child’s doctor.
Q. Can Cefoxim 125mg Syrup impact my child’s digestion?
Antibiotics kill the infection-causing bacteria, but while doing this they may affect the good bacteria present in the gastrointestinal tract. As a result, your child may develop diarrhea or some other infections as well. Moreover, children have a more sensitive stomach than adults, so the likelihood of developing a stomach upset is more. In case your child is having diarrhea while on Cefoxim 125mg Syrup, 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.

The amount of time Cefoxim 125mg Syrup takes to work depends on the type of infection and response of the patient to the medicine.

Usually, the symptoms of bacterial infections start to decrease in 48 to 72 hours after starting the medication.
Q. How long should you take Cefoxim 125mg Syrup?
The duration of therapy with Cefoxim 125mg Syrup depends upon the type of infection. It is usually given for 7 days.
