Is it safe and appropriate to give my one-month-old baby the prescribed medications Kelex and Ascoril syrup for a lung infection, and is it normal for him to only have a bowel movement once every 30 hours?
For a one-month-old, the antibiotic cephalexin (Kelex) can be appropriate if carefully dosed by your pediatrician. However, cough formulations like Ascoril syrup are generally not recommended for infants under two years old due to safety concerns. Please consult your pediatrician before administering it. Regarding his bowel movements, passing stool once every 30 hours is completely normal and very common for a one-month-old, as long as the stool is soft and he is feeding comfortably.
