Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Zancocin should be avoided in children. You may consult a paediatrician who can evaluate your sons condition and discuss necessary medications to be taken.
Ofloxacin may cause problems with bones, joints, and tissues around joints in children. Ofloxacin should not be given to children younger than 18 years of age. Talk to your child's doctor about the risks of giving ofloxacin to your child.
Hope this helps
