Zocef Dry Syrup – Your Child’s Medicine at a Glance
Zocef Dry Syrup is an antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in children, including infections of the ear, nose, throat, lungs, skin, soft tissues, bones, joints and urinary tract. It may also be given to prevent infections after animal/human bites or before surgeries.
It can be taken before or after food, but giving it with meals improves absorption and lowers the chance of stomach upset. The dose and duration depend on your child’s age, weight and infection severity — so always follow the doctor’s instructions.
If your child vomits within 30 minutes of giving the dose, give the same dose again. But if the next dose timing is near, do not double the dose.
Minor, temporary side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, allergy or mild liver enzyme increase may occur. These usually improve as your child’s body adjusts. If symptoms persist or worsen, contact your doctor.
Always tell the doctor if your child has a history of:
Allergy
Heart problems
Blood disorders
Birth defects
Breathing or airway issues
Lung disease
Stomach or bowel problems
Skin disorders
Liver or kidney issues
This helps the doctor decide correct dosing and safer treatment options.
