Which lab tests may my child undergo while taking Cefihill 50mg Dry Syrup on a long-term basis?

The doctor may prescribe getting kidney function tests and liver function tests periodically to keep a check on your child’s condition.

Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. During a common cold, it is normal for mucus to thicken up and change from clear to yellow or green. Symptoms often last for 7-10 days.

Does a common cold caused by viruses always result in a secondary bacterial infection? When to start an antibiotic to prevent infection?
