Can the use of Gevoxtin Oral Suspension cause diarrhea?

Yes, Gevoxtin Oral Suspension can sometimes cause diarrhea. This is because it kills harmful bacteria and can affect the good bacteria in your child's stomach.

If the diarrhea persists or you notice any signs of dehydration (like less frequent urination with dark urine), please contact your doctor before giving your child any other medication.

The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?

Yellow or green mucus in the nose does not necessarily mean you need to use antibiotics. During a common cold, this can be normal for mucus to thicken and change color, typically lasting 7-10 days. If your child shows other symptoms such as fever or difficulty breathing, it's important to seek medical advice immediately.

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

You should call your child’s doctor immediately if your child experiences serious allergic reactions (breathing problems or skin rashes), gastrointestinal infections (diarrhea), and liver damage (weakness, paleness, vomiting). Although rare, these are serious side effects that need the attention of a healthcare professional.
