My 3-month-old baby has had a cough for the last 2 days and has been given amoxicillin 125 mg oral suspension. Is it safe to give this medicine, and what should be the correct dose?
A cough in a 3-month-old baby should be assessed carefully before giving antibiotics. Amoxicillin can be used in infants only when prescribed, and the dose depends on the baby's weight and the type of infection. Do not change the dose on your own. Follow the doctor's instructions and monitor the baby for fever, poor feeding, or breathing difficulty.
