Why did my child have rashes after taking oflox syrup for loose motion?
Patient: i have given my child oflox 100 syrup for loose motion   but she had form rashes on her body is that a side effect of or anything else from last three days she was  having the fever having vomiting and loose motion for vomoiting i have given her emigo so vomiting stopped but loose motion continued if it si the side effect of the oflox 100 ihve given her once in a day in afternoon but rashses had form in  the eveing loose mition had stopped to stop the side effect what should do now Doctor: Yes skin rashes or photo-toxicity is the side effect of fluoroquinolone group of drugs most commonly with sparfloxacine or ofloxacine and sometimes with ciprofloxacine also. For that you just have to give your daughter syrup pheniramine 5 ml three times daily with syrup vomikind 5 ml twice daily for vomiting. Instead of oflox syrup you can use nor-metrogyl syrup because it is quite safer as far as skin rashes or photo-toxicity is concerned.
