But it is incredibly important to finish the exact course of the antibiotic Azithral (azithromycin) as prescribed by your pediatrician. Stopping antibiotics early, even when symptoms improve, can cause the infection to return stronger. Typically, azithromycin is prescribed for a short course of 3 to 5 days. Since your baby switched from Extacef (cefixime), please consult your pediatrician to confirm the exact number of days they want him to complete. Never stop the medication early without their direct guidance.

What is the healthy weight for a 13-month-old baby who was born prematurely at 7 months (with a birth weight of 1.16 kg and current weight of 7.26 kg), and what could be causing his continuous crying, head shaking, and refusal to eat or drink after his medicine was recently changed from Para V and Extacef drops to Azithral?

7.26 kg is a very reassuring and healthy weight for a 13-month-old born prematurely. His current crying, head shaking, and refusal to eat or drink could be signs of ear pain (common with respiratory infections) or stomach discomfort from his new medication, Azithral (azithromycin). Also, stopping Para V (paracetamol) may mean his pain is no longer being managed. Because he is refusing fluids, please have his pediatrician evaluate him promptly to prevent dehydration and make sure he is comfortable.

Should I give my son Azithral 100 or 200 Liquid for his cold and cough?

Please do not give your son Azithral 100 or 200 Liquid (Azithromycin) for a common cold or cough, as they are typically caused by viruses and antibiotics are ineffective against them. Giving it unnecessarily may cause side effects and antibiotic resistance. Always consult your paediatrician before giving any medication to your child.

I have several extremely painful wounds. Could you please advise me on what to do?

You should have your wounds examined by a doctor as soon as possible, as severe pain may indicate an infection or underlying complications. Keep the wounds clean and covered, and avoid self-medicating with antibiotics or creams without medical guidance. Seek urgent care if you notice redness, swelling, pus, fever, or worsening pain.
