Hi there I have a 1 year old who is on fluclox for impetigo and has been for 1 week. Before starting to take this she has been on movicol for constipation and has been on that for 3 weeks. The movicol was really working and her bowel movements were back to normal but since taking the antibiotic she has gone back to really straining and upset when trying to go to the loo. Could this be the antibiotic? She s only on 1 sachet of movicol a day, should we up it whilst she s taking the other meds? Thanks very much, Thea
HI FLUMMOX CAN BE GIVEN FOR IMPETIGO AS MOST COMMON BUG CAUSING IT WILL RESPOND TO THIS.YOU CAN TRY TO GIVE MORE Fiber DIET IN THE FORM OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES TO PREVENT CONSTIPATION AND CAN INCREASE THE SYVICOL TO TWICE A DAY
