HI, My baby is 40 days old. Having cold and cough from 8 days. He is taking following medicine from last 6 days: "Cefixime Oral suspension IP" and Paracetamol Oral drops from TusQ. He is not having blocked nose, but some cough. It is like 15 coughs in a day. Today doctor change medicine and said if he doenst improve in 5 days we would go for X-ray of chest. But when I read about new medicine online, I am finding it not recommended for infants, the medicines are : a) Promethazine Syrup I.P.
b) Amoxycyillin and Potassium Clavulanate Oral Suspension IP : 15 drops, twice daily 0.7ml each
c) Mucolite: 10 drops thrice daily, 0.25ml each.
He did not get 1 month vaccine yet, so yet to get pneumonia vaccine,
I have following questions a) I giving these medicines ok
b) Is X-Rays ok for 40 days old baby?
c) What could be doctor suspecting if he has given these meidicnes?
