Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. The cough and cold is an expression of respiratory tract infection. Most often it is caused due to certain viruses. Sometimes there is a superadded bacterial infection for which antibiotics are prescribed. Antibiotics are ineffective against viruses. Fever generally indicates infection. In case of viral infections, the condition resolves spontaneously in 5-10 days. In any case when antibiotics are prescribed, they also kill the beneficial bacteria that reside in our intestines. As a result diarrhoea results. The situation can be improved by giving curd/yogurt which contains lactobacilli. Enterogermina sachets can also be given for the same.

Advent is an antibiotic. Nexpro junior contains omeprazole to reduce acidity that may be caused by the medications. Prospan is a cough syrup. At times certain medicines are not well tolerated. So vomiting may occur. Continue the medicines as prescribed by your doctor.

Hope that would solve your queries. Feel free to communicate back in case of further queries if any.
