Please consult your pediatrician immediately. Stop giving Phenergan drops right away; promethazine is strictly contraindicated in children under 2 years of age due to the risk of severe, life-threatening breathing difficulties. Additionally, giving two oral antibiotics (Switch and Althrocin) simultaneously is highly unusual for a 6-week-old baby and requires urgent medical review. Stop all oral medications and only use Nasoclear (saline) drops to clear nasal congestion until a doctor physically examines your baby. Since newborns with respiratory symptoms can deteriorate quickly, an immediate in-person medical evaluation is critical for your baby's safety.

Althrocin Drops may be prescribed for a 4‑month‑old baby only if a paediatrician confirms a bacterial infection. The dosage is individualised and depends on factors such as the severity of the infection, the baby’s age, weight, and overall health. A paediatrician will assess these before deciding the appropriate dose and duration. Antibiotics should never be used without medical supervision, as inappropriate use can cause side effects, disturb the baby’s gut microbiota, contribute to antibiotic resistance, and result in ineffective treatment. Professional guidance is essential to ensure both safety and proper care.
