Can I give Azee 100 mg to my 3-year-old son (weighing 14.8 kg) who has a worsening cough and a new fever a week after getting his measles-rubella (MR) vaccine, even though he is already taking Piriton CS, Sinarest AF, and Ascoril D, and if so, what is the correct dose for him?
Please do not give him Azee (azithromycin) without consulting his pediatrician first, as antibiotics are only for bacterial infections. More importantly, please stop giving Piriton CS, Sinarest AF, and Ascoril D together. These medications contain overlapping ingredients, which can be unsafe and cause an accidental overdose for a 3-year-old. Since he has a worsening cough and a new fever a week after his MR vaccine, it is best to have him evaluated by his pediatrician. They will safely check his chest and prescribe the correct medications and dosages for his weight.
