So, Sompower CV Oral Suspension should be used with caution in children with a history of seizure disorder. If seizures occur, discontinue Sompower CV Oral Suspension and visit your child’s doctor right away.

What if I give too much of Sompower CV Oral Suspension by mistake?

An extra dose of Sompower CV Oral Suspension is unlikely to harm. However, if you think you have given too much of Sompower CV Oral Suspension to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Overdose may cause unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition.

For how long do I need to give Sompower CV Oral Suspension to my child?

Give Sompower CV Oral Suspension for as long as advised by the doctor. Usually, it takes 3 to 5 days for the infection to start improving.

Are there any possible serious side effects of Sompower CV Oral Suspension?

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 Sompower CV Oral Suspension?

Sompower CV Oral Suspension can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Sompower CV Oral Suspension. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.

Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Sompower CV Oral Suspension ?

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.

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

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.

Can Sompower CV Oral Suspension 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 Sompower CV Oral Suspension, 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.
