Swich Syrup may cause diarrhoea. If the child experiences diarrhoea, give them water and non-spicy food. Consult a doctor if the condition persists or worsens.

To treat the condition effectively, it is recommended that the course of Swich Syrup be completed even if the child feels better. Leaving it in between may lead to a severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance).
