Is Novamox Safe For An Infant?
Brief Answer:
Not recommended
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections and antibiotics are ineffective in such cases. Antibiotics like Novamox would not help and irrespective of treatment it usually spontaneously resolves in 5-7 days. Although Novamox is safe, it is a very bad practice to give antibiotics unless blood tests show elevated WBC count or raised CRP. It may also have side effects.
