Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Fixot OF Dry Syrup?

Can Fixot OF Dry Syrup 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 Fixot OF Dry 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.
Can Fixot OF Dry Syrup lead to bacterial resistance in my child?
Yes, the infection-causing bacteria can become resistant to Fixot OF Dry Syrup because of irregular dosing, unrequired repeated use, and misuse of Fixot OF Dry Syrup 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 Fixot OF Dry Syrup to my child?
