Yes, Claver Dry Syrup can sometimes cause diarrhea. It's an antibiotic that fights harmful bacteria.

A yellow or green color in your child's nose during a common cold isn't necessarily a sign of a bacterial infection, even though some bacteria can be present in the nasal mucus during a viral illness like this. It's normal for mucus to thicken and change color as it does during a common cold. It usually resolves within 7-10 days.

Is there any sign which shows that my child needs immediate medical attention?

In case of serious allergic reactions (breathing difficulties, skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), or liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting), it's crucial to contact your child's doctor immediately. Though rare, these side effects are potentially life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.
