About Augmentin DDS Syrup

Augmentin DDS Syrup is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections in children. It is used to treat infections of the skin, throat, ear, and lungs caused by bacteria.

Augmentin DDS Syrup contains Amoxycillin and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin kills infection-causing bacteria by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin.

Augmentin DDS Syrup may cause side effects such as indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician.

Avoid giving Augmentin DDS Syrup to your child if she/he is allergic to antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, including his current medications and medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions.

Uses of Augmentin DDS Syrup

Augmentin DDS Syrup is used in the treatment of bacterial infections in children. The detailed uses of Augmentin DDS Syrup are as follows:

  • Treating Bacterial Infections: Augmentin DDS Syrup treats various bacterial infections in children, including respiratory tract infections and ear infections, with its antibiotic properties.
  • Sinusitis Management: Augmentin DDS Syrup helps to manage sinusitis by treating bacterial infections that cause sinus inflammation, alleviating symptoms like facial pain and congestion.
  • Skin Infections: Augmentin DDS Syrup is used in treating skin and soft tissue infections by targeting and eliminating the bacteria that cause the infection.
  • Urinary Tract Infections: Augmentin DDS Syrup is indicated for treating urinary tract infections (UTIs) by targeting the bacteria causing the infection, providing relief from symptoms, and supporting recovery.
  • Dental Infections: Augmentin DDS Syrup is also used in the treatment of dental infections, including dental abscesses and oral infections, promoting healing and relieving pain.

Key Benefits

  • Augmentin DDS Syrup is used in children to treat respiratory tract infections, ear infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and dental infections.
  • Amoxicillin weakens and damages the bacterial cell wall, leading to bacterial death and stopping the spread of infection.
  • Clavulanic acid blocks the beta-lactamase enzyme produced by certain bacteria, ensuring amoxicillin remains effective.
  • It helps in quicker resolution of symptoms by effectively targeting and eliminating infection-causing bacteria.
  • Augmentin DDS Syrup is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including both aerobic (oxygen-dependent) and anaerobic (non-oxygen-dependent) bacteria.

How Augmentin DDS Syrup Works

Augmentin DDS Syrup is a combination medicine containing Amoxycillin (penicillin- antibiotic) and Clavulanic acid. Amoxycillin works by inhibiting the formation of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) and causing damage to the bacterial cell wall. This eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell and thus prevents the growth of bacterial infections. Clavulanic acid inhibits the beta-lactamase enzyme, which prevents bacteria from destroying the efficacy of amoxycillin. Together, Augmentin DDS Syrup helps treat bacterial infections.

What if I have taken an overdose of Augmentin DDS Syrup

An overdose of Augmentin DDS Syrup may cause unpleasant side effects. Consult your doctor if you suspect an overdose.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Increase your child's intake of foods high in fibre. Your gut bacteria can readily break down fibre, which promotes growth.
  • Foods high in fibre may aid in the restoration of good gut flora following an antibiotic course.
  • Avoid foods high in iron or excessive calcium, as these may interfere with Augmentin DDS Syrup's functionality.
  • Encourage your kid to consume more liquids to prevent dehydration.

Health Queries

My son has a fever and a visible sore in his throat, and after taking two doses of paracetamol syrup and Augmentin DDS, the sore is still there; should I wait three days to see if the medicine works, or should I take him to a different doctor now?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

It is completely normal that the sore is still visible after only two doses. Antibiotics like amoxicillin-clavulanate (Augmentin DDS) usually take 24 to 48 hours to show noticeable improvement, while paracetamol helps manage the fever and pain in the meantime. You do not need to change doctors. Please continue the prescribed medication. Instead of waiting a full three days, monitor him over the next 24 to 48 hours. If his fever persists, or if he develops difficulty swallowing, breathing, or excessive drooling, consult his pediatrician immediately. Otherwise, please give the medicine a little more time to work!

How long should I monitor my child before going to the hospital, and is it safe to give AUGMENTIN DDS, PARACETAMOL, CROCIN, and IBUROFEN together without giving too much ibuprofen?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

Please be very cautious: **Crocin** and **Paracetamol** are the exact same medication. Giving both together can lead to a dangerous overdose. You should only give **Augmentin DDS** (an antibiotic) if it was prescribed by your doctor for a bacterial infection. To manage fever safely, you can use either Paracetamol or **Ibuprofen**, but do not give them at the exact same time without medical guidance. You can safely monitor your child at home for 24 to 48 hours. However, head to the hospital immediately if you notice red flags like difficulty breathing, extreme sleepiness, refusal to drink fluids, or a fever that lasts more than 3 days.

Is Augmentin DDS the right treatment for bacterial pneumonia in my 4-year-old child, given that an ultrasound showed a solid patch of infection in his lower right lung, he was prescribed a two-week course, and his fever started going down on the fourth day?

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

It is wonderful to hear your little one's fever is starting to come down; that is a very reassuring sign that the medication is working. Augmentin DDS (amoxicillin/clavulanate) is indeed an excellent and standard choice for treating bacterial pneumonia in children. For a localized infection, like the patch seen on his ultrasound, a two-week course is appropriate to ensure the infection clears completely. Please continue giving the medication exactly as prescribed, even as he continues to feel better. Keep him hydrated and rested, and reach out to his pediatrician if his symptoms worsen or if you have any concerns. You are doing a wonderful job caring for him.

Is a 14-day course of Augmentin DDS too long for a four-year-old treating a lung infection with high infection markers in their blood tests, should these blood tests be repeated after finishing the medicine, and why is a follow-up chest X-ray recommended six weeks after treatment?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

It is completely understandable to feel concerned, but a 14-day course of Augmentin DDS (amoxicillin/clavulanate) is standard and safe for severe lung infections with high markers to ensure it is fully cleared. Repeating blood tests is usually unnecessary if your little one is recovering well. The six-week follow-up chest X-ray is recommended because lung changes take time to resolve on imaging. Checking too early might show lingering, harmless shadows that cause unnecessary worry, so waiting six weeks helps confirm their lungs are completely clear and healthy. You are doing a wonderful job caring for them!

What could cause my child to have a high platelet count after finishing a 14-day course of the antibiotic Augmentin DDS, even though their white blood cell count is normal on their blood test?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

It is very common and reassuring to see a temporary rise in platelets after a recent infection, even when white blood cells have returned to normal. This reaction is called reactive thrombocytosis. Your child's body naturally produces more platelets as part of the healing process after fighting the infection for which the Augmentin DDS was prescribed. These levels typically return to normal on their own over the next few weeks as they fully recover. I recommend sharing these results with your pediatrician, who can easily monitor your child's progress and provide you with personalized reassurance.

Is it safe to use Duonase nasal spray or another medication to relieve a stuffy, blocked nose in my 3-year-old son (14 kg) who has a history of enlarged adenoids and is currently taking Augmentin DDS, Azitral, Timic, and Crocin DS?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

I understand how worrisome it is to see your little one struggling with a blocked nose. Because Duonase nasal spray (containing azelastine and fluticasone) is generally not recommended for children under 6 years old, it is best to avoid it for your 3-year-old son. Since he is already taking several medications, including Augmentin DDS, Azitral, Timic, and Crocin DS, adding another medicated spray without a doctor's guidance could cause side effects. For safe and gentle relief, you can use simple saline nasal drops to clear his stuffy nose. Please consult his pediatrician before introducing any new medicine.

Up to what age can Augmentin DDS Syrup be prescribed in children? If there is a dosage chart based on the child’s age and weight, please share it.

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

Augmentin DDS Syrup contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid and can be prescribed to children when antibiotic treatment is required for a bacterial infection. There is no fixed maximum age for using the syrup. The dose is usually determined by the child’s body weight, the type and severity of the infection, and the strength of the formulation. Paediatric formulations are generally used in children weighing less than 40 kg, while children weighing 40 kg or more are usually dosed according to adult recommendations. Therefore, a simple age-based chart alone may not be appropriate, as children of the same age can have different weights and medical needs. The dose is calculated in mg per kg per day and divided into appropriate doses by the doctor. This syrup should only be given on medical advice, as incorrect dosing can cause side effects and antibiotic resistance.

My daughter has swollen tonsils, trouble swallowing, severe vomiting, and a 103?F fever, and she is getting worse and not eating at all despite taking four doses of Augmentin DDS along with Ibugesic Plus, Ondem, and Allegra; should I stop Augmentin DDS and start her on Cepodem instead, or what should I do?

Chandrakanta Jena

Chandrakanta Jena

Pharm D

I understand how worrying it is to see your daughter so uncomfortable. Please do not stop Augmentin DDS or switch to Cepodem without consulting her pediatrician. Because she is vomiting severely and cannot swallow, she likely is not absorbing her oral medications. With her persistent 103?F fever and worsening symptoms, she needs an immediate medical evaluation. A doctor should assess her hydration and may need to give her medications intravenously to bypass her stomach and help her feel better quickly. Please take her to her doctor or the nearest emergency clinic right away.

My son age is 11 year 7 months and weight is 31kg. He suffer sinusitis doctor prescribe augmentin dds syrup 7.5 ml two times daily. This is safe for children or not

Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

M Pharmacy

For your 11-year-old son weighing 31 kg, a prescription for Augmentin DDS syrup 7.5 ml twice daily may be appropriate for treating sinusitis, depending on the severity of the infection and the doctor’s clinical judgment. Pediatric dosing of Augmentin is usually based on weight, type of infection, and individual tolerance, so that the exact dose may vary from child to child. It’s important not to adjust the dose on your own; always follow your doctor’s instructions, and if you have any doubts, confirm with your paediatrician to ensure the dose is safe and suitable for your son.

My son is 11 years and 8 months old, weighs 33 kg, and has sinusitis. The doctor prescribed Augmentin DDS syrup 10 ml twice a day. Is this dose safe?

Ask Apollo

If the doctor prescribes Augmentin DDS syrup 10 ml twice daily for your child, it means they have already tailored the dose to your child’s weight, age, and the severity of the sinus infection. Augmentin dosing in children is not fixed; it varies depending on these factors, so it’s important to follow the doctor’s instructions exactly, complete the full course, and monitor for side effects such as rash, diarrhoea, or allergic reactions. If you notice anything unusual or are concerned about the dose, check back with your doctor promptly.
