Side effects of Claricin Dry Syrup
  • Regularly brush and floss your teeth.
  • Rinse your mouth with water and baking soda a solution to neutralize acid in the mouth. This makes your food taste as it should.
  • Drink plenty of water or non-caffeinated drinks to prevent dry mouth which may lead to altered taste.
  • Try ginger, peppermint, fruit or green teas, lemonade, ginger ale or fruit juice to help mask unpleasant tastes.

Here are the precise steps to cope with diarrhoea caused by medication usage:
  • Inform Your Doctor: Notify your doctor immediately about your diarrhoea symptoms. This allows them to adjust your medication or provide guidance on managing side effects.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids to replace lost water and electrolytes. Choose water, clear broth, and electrolyte-rich drinks. Avoid carbonated or caffeinated beverages to effectively rehydrate your body.
  • Follow a Bland Diet: Eat easy-to-digest foods to help firm up your stool and settle your stomach. Try incorporating bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, plain crackers, and boiled vegetables into your diet.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Steer clear of foods that can worsen diarrhoea, such as spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, high-fibre foods, and dairy products (especially if you're lactose intolerant).
  • Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. To stay healthy, wash your hands frequently, clean and disinfect surfaces regularly, and avoid exchanging personal belongings with others.
  • Take Anti-Diarrheal Medications: If your doctor advises, anti-diarrheal medications such as loperamide might help manage diarrhoea symptoms. Always follow your doctor's directions.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to give probiotics after taking the full course of CLARICIN DRY SYRUP to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed.

Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • The BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apple sauce, toast) can help with diarrhoea from antibiotics.
  • Give plenty of water to the child. Staying hydrated is important, especially when you’re child is sick.
  • Eating a broad range of plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, pulses, and wholegrains helps to build a healthy gut microbiome.
  • Avoid feeding too many calcium-enriched foods and drinks because they may interfere with the functioning of CLARICIN DRY SYRUP.
