Swich Drops

Swich Drops is an antibiotic medicine commonly prescribed for children to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is useful in infections of the ears, eyes, nose, throat, lungs, urinary tract, gastrointestinal system, skin, and is also effective against typhoid fever in children and adolescents.

The medicine should ideally be given one hour before or two hours after meals, but if your child develops stomach discomfort, it may be given with food. The exact dose is determined based on your child’s age, body weight, and the severity of infection. If your child vomits within 30 minutes of taking the medicine, the same dose may be repeated, but do not double the dose if it is already time for the next scheduled dose.

Swich Drops should not be given for viral infections like flu or the common cold, as antibiotics do not work against viruses. It is only prescribed for cough or cold if there is an associated bacterial infection.

Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, rash, or headache. These are usually temporary and improve as the child’s body adjusts to the medicine. If side effects persist or worsen, medical advice should be sought promptly.

Before starting treatment, share your child’s complete medical history with the doctor, especially past allergies, blood disorders, heart conditions, congenital abnormalities, airway or lung issues, digestive problems, liver disease, kidney disease, or skin disorders. This helps the doctor decide the safest and most effective treatment plan.

Swich Drops works by preventing bacteria from forming their protective covering (cell wall), which is vital for their survival. This action stops bacterial growth, prevents the infection from spreading, and allows the body to recover effectively.

The medicine is considered generally safe when used during pregnancy and breastfeeding under medical supervision. Alcohol does not usually cause harmful effects when taken with Swich Drops. However, the medicine may sometimes cause dizziness, drowsiness, or blurred vision, so driving should be avoided if these symptoms occur.

In patients with mild to moderate kidney problems, no dose changes are usually required, though children with severe kidney disease may need adjustments. In cases of liver disease, caution is advised and dose modifications may be necessary.

If a dose is missed, give it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with the regular routine. Do not double the dose.
