Information About Augmentin Duo Oral Suspension

An antibiotic called Augmentin Duo Oral Suspension is used to treat bacterial infections of the teeth, skin, urinary tract, chest, lungs, nose, and throat. Since it can destroy bacteria that have developed a resistance to other treatments, it also aids in treating tuberculosis that is unresponsive to other medications.

Both with and without food, you can give your child Augmentin Duo Oral Suspension. Giving it with food helps enhance absorption and lowers the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort, thus it is preferable to do so. Giving it twice or three times each day may be advised by the doctor. The dosage of the medication is determined by the type, severity, and age and weight of your child as well as the infection. So, follow the dosage, timing, and method as directed. Within 30 minutes of taking the medication, if your child throws up, wait for them to settle down and give them another dose. If it is time for the next dose, do not take a duplicate dose.

Among the adverse effects of oral Augmentin Duo Suspension include allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These undesirable effects should go away on their own. However, if they persist or start to bother your child, you shouldn’t put off speaking with their doctor.

Tell the doctor everything about your child’s medical history, including any instances of allergy, heart disease, blood disorder, birth defects, airway blockage, lung abnormality, gastrointestinal issue, skin condition, liver dysfunction, and kidney dysfunction. The doctor can adjust doses and organize your child’s overall therapy with the help of this information.
