Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Clavam is an antibiotic and is frequently prescribed for the treatment of cold and cough by some physicians. I however prefer to give the medicine for 5 days not 3 days.

However watch out for the side effects like loosestools, nausea and abdominal discomfort. I usually prescribe probiotics along with the clavam to avoid the side effects

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further. Best of luck.
