How Can Fever In A New Born Infant Be Treated?
My baby has been sick for 15 days I ve taken her to the hospital and given her Tylenol for her fever but she is not getting any better. Her sister is 4 years old and she was sick as well. I took them to the hospital the same day and they gave my four-year-old antibiotics Amox-clav 400-57/5ml SUSP and she is getting better but the baby isn t. She is 7 months old. Can I give her anabiotic s? And if so what s the dosage that I can give her of Amox-clav.

Hello,
Antibiotics are given only if fever is due to bacterial infection.
So, better send to his pediatrician to check your baby. If he/she will decide for antibiotics, then, give antibiotics.
Wish fast recovery.
