Brief Answer:
Decrease the dose of relent. Increase formula feed
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Relent contains cetrizine and it causes sedation and drowsiness in the child.
The child excessive sleepiness is due to the sedative effect of relent syrup which interfering with his oral intake of formula milk.
Yellowish urine is suggestive of concentrated urine which is due to decreased oral intake of feeds by the child due to excess sleepiness.
I advise you to stop giving relent syrup or decrease its dose with the advise of your pediatrician as it is interfering with the child oral intake.
Increase his formula feeds to maintain the child hydration thus increasing her urine output. And you give breastfeeds frequently.
Coming to specific diet in this case, you can continue feeds whatever you are giving her presently. If you have started weaning feeds, you can continue them.
If the child is not taking her feeds properly, activity is decreased, or showing any signs of dehydration such as decreased urine output, decreased skin turgor, or dry oral cavity consult the pediatrician for follow up.
Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.
Regards.

Thanks for the response,just wanted to know is it okay to take both the medicines does it have any side effect as i heard Aziwork is an antibiotic and does it impact on the immune system of baby.

Aziwok has no impact on immune system.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
You are welcome.
Thank you for getting back.
It is okay to take these both medicines when they are clinically indicated and prescribed by the pediatrician.
But cetrizine causes sedation which may interfere with the child activity and feeding.
Aziwok contains azithromycin which is an antibiotic. It is given when the child is having infection with a bacteria such as throat infection.
Azithromycin doesn't have any impact on the immune system of baby.
