Nufix O Kid 100mg/100mg Tablet DT is an antibiotic medicine that treats bacterial infections in children and adolescents. Nufix O Kid 100mg/100mg Tablet DT is an antibiotic medicine that treats bacterial infections that may affect your child's eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, skin, bone and joints, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. It can also be used in treating typhoid fever in children and adolescents.
