Introduction To Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup
Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup is a potent antibiotic made up of two active medicines. It is given to children to treat a wide range of severe bacterial infections targeting the ear, sinus, throat, lungs, skin, and urinary tract.
Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup is best given an hour before or two hours after meals as that ensures better absorption. Giving it with meals is a good option if your child develops a stomach upset. Adhere to the dose, time, and way prescribed by the doctor because the dose and duration are advised depending upon the type and severity of the infection. In case your child vomits within 30 minutes of the intake, give the same dose again but do not double dose if it is time for the next dose.
Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup does not treat cold and flu symptoms which usually occur due to a viral infection. Always remember that antibiotics should not be given in viral infections as they do not impact viruses. Doctors prescribe this medicine for cough and cold only when they detect any underlying secondary bacterial infection.
Some of the minor and temporary side effects of this medicine include vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and allergy. These episodes should subside once your child's body adapts to the medicine. If these side effects persist or become bothersome for your child, report to the doctor without any delay.
The doctor should be aware of your child's complete medical history as this helps plan your child's overall treatment. So, inform the doctor if your child has or had any previous episode of allergy, heart problem, blood disorder, birth defects, airway obstruction, lung anomaly, gastrointestinal problem, skin disorder, liver impairment, and kidney malfunction.

Benefits of Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup
Treatment of Bacterial infections
Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup helps treat infections that are caused by bacteria. It contains two
medicines, Cefixime, and Clavulanic acid. Cefixime stops the growth of
infection-causing bacteria. Clavulanic Acid enhances the activity of Cefixime
against the bacteria as well as reduces resistance of the bacteria to the
antibiotic. This medicine usually makes you feel better within a few days, but
you should continue taking it as prescribed even when you feel better to make
sure that all the infectious bacteria are killed and do not become resistant.

How Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup works
Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup is a potent antibiotic comprising two active medicines: Cefixime and Clavulanic acid. Cefixime works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering (cell wall) which is essential for the survival of the bacteria. By doing so, this medicine stops the infection-causing bacteria from growing and prevents the infection from spreading without making the bacteria resistant to further treatment. The second ingredient, clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. It reduces resistance and enhances the activity of cefixime against bacteria.
Quick tips

- Encourage your child to drink plenty of water in case diarrhea develops as a side effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What if I give too much of Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup by mistake?
If you think you have given too much of Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup to your child, immediately speak to a doctor. Although an extra dose of Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup does not usually cause any harm, overdoses do increase the risk of unwanted side effects and may even worsen your child’s condition.
Q. Are there any possible serious side effects of Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup?
Some serious side effects of this medicine include persistent vomiting, kidney damage, allergy, diarrhea, and severe gastrointestinal infections. Always consult your child’s doctor for help in such a situation.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup?
Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. Can I get my child vaccinated while on treatment with Afime-CV Plus Dry Syrup?
Antibiotics usually do not interfere with the ingredients in vaccines or cause a bad reaction in a child who has just been vaccinated. However, children taking antibiotics should not get vaccinated until they recover from the illness. As soon as your child feels better, the vaccine can be given.
Q. The mucus coming out of my child’s nose is yellow-green. Is it a sign of a bacterial infection?
The color of mucus does not represent the kind of infection your child has. So, yellow or green mucus in the nose does not mean that antibiotics are needed. During the common cold, it is normal for the symptoms to last for 7-10 days and for the mucus to change texture and color.
Q. My child is having a sore throat and ear infection. Can I give antibiotics?
No. More than 80% of sore throats and ear infections are caused by a virus, and antibiotics are not given for viral infections. If your child has a sore throat, runny nose, a barky cough, pain, and discharge from the ear, it is most likely because of a virus. Consult your child’s doctor to seek guidance.
