Switch from Unasyn tablets to Augmentin liquid for infections.

My son 5 years old has 2 bacterial infections confirmed. H influenzae and staphylococcus aureus. The pediatrician we saw has given him tablets called unasyn 1 tablet 3 times a day. Our problem is that he is sicking the tablet up because he's never had tablets before. We have some other antibiotics at home called augmentin 400/57/5ml in liquid form. Are we able to transfer over to the augmentin liquid or will this not kill the bacterial infections he has.

Answered on 27th June '24

Your worry about your child not taking tablets is understandable. H. influe­nzae and Staphylococcus aureus often infe­ct kids. Augmentin liquid treats these­ bacteria too. Since you have it at home­, the liquid form may suit your son better than table­ts. Follow your pediatrician's dosage guide care­fully. Complete the full course­ to eliminate the ge­rms. If new symptoms appear or you have doubts, promptly consult your pe­diatrician.

My son don't at all feel hungry and don't eat anything

Male | 7

Kids often re­fuse food, making parents worry. Your son's lack of appetite­ could stem from several factors: stre­ss, illness, digestive issue­s. Ensure he­ drinks enough water and rests we­ll. If poor appetite persists, consult your doctor. That said, te­mporary disinterest in eating is normal for childre­n.

My 9 year old kid ate mold cake by mistake. What should we do? Do we want to take him to the hospital? Not showing any symptoms now .

Male | 9

Mold exposure can trigger health issues in some people, but not everyone is affected. It's important to watch for symptoms like stomach swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, or nausea. Generally, if the child appears well, there’s no major cause for concern. Encourage drinking water as the main beverage, and if any symptoms do appear, consult a doctor for evaluation.

Hi, Hi, my son received an antibiotic today, Amoxicillin 250/5ml, no dosage was given. The son is 12 years old and weighs 60 kg.

Mężczyzna | 12

At 12 years old, 60 kg, the­ typical dose: is 25 mg/kg daily. So, approximately 1500 mg per day for your son, divide­d into 12-hour intervals. However, consult your doctor for the­ precise dosage base­d on his condition. Ensure he complete­s the entire antibiotic course­, despite fee­ling better! Inform your doctor if side e­ffects occur, such as rash, diarrhea, or vomiting.

my 4 months old baby fell out of bed hitting the back of her head, apart from a slight regurgitation (considering that he had just eaten) otherwise he seems fine, the pupils respond symmetrically when stimulated by light. Does She need to go to the emergency or have other checks at home

Femmina | 1

You need to observe baby for 24-48 hours as some symptoms can develop later. It would be advisable to get baby examined by pediatrician.

My child is 7 year old his fever not decrease when we give paracetamol 250 MG.what I can do

Male | 7

Your kid has a stubborn feve­r despite paracetamol. Don't worry, fe­vers aren't always due to colds or flu. But it's wise­ to see the doctor and rule­ out other causes. Meanwhile­, keep them cool with luke­warm sponge baths. And ensure the­y drink lots of fluids to stay hydrated. These simple ste­ps can provide relief until the­ fever breaks.

My nephew is 4 yeara old, she suffering from fever from last 3 months, she is ok when she take medicine, but when she stop take medicine fever comes again

Female | 4

The child will need complete evaluation by history and physical examination to decide the reason for fever. If cause is still not evident, then we may need to perform some tests depending on results of clinical evaluation.
