Cetroxol Suspension Powder (Azithromycin 100mg) should be mixed with clean boiled and cooled water according to the instructions on the sachet or label. Usually, each sachet is meant to be reconstituted just before use: Pour the entire powder from one sachet into a small cup. Add a small amount of clean boiled, cooled water (about 5 mL or 1 teaspoon). Stir or shake well until the powder completely dissolves. Give the exact dose prescribed by your doctor, once daily for 3 days. If your son was also prescribed malaria medicine, do not mix both medicines together in the same cup—give them separately, a few hours apart. Because your son has mucus coming from his eyes, it’s important to also see a pediatrician—this may require an eye-specific antibiotic or drops, not just oral treatment.

Read more answer now Asked by Chinwendu onyemaechi on October 7, 2024 10:18 am Verified by Pharmacist Hi Chinwendu,   Cetroxol Suspension Powder (Azithromycin) is an antibiotic typically used for bacterial infections. If your baby’s cold is viral, antibiotics like Cetroxol may not be necessary unless there's a bacterial complication. It’s important to follow the nurse’s instructions, but if you’re unsure, or if your baby’s symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting your doctor to confirm if this treatment is appropriate for her condition.
