Is Advent Drop The Right Medication For Boil On Scalp Of Children?
Hi doctor this is Yathish from bangalore.My son is 1.5 months old and 4.15 kgs.He got a boil in his scalp, his paediatric recognised it as a bacterial infeinfection.He has prescribed advent drops 100mg per dosage and 3 dosages a day i.e 300 mg per day. I just want to crosscheck 300mg per day doesnt look like a high dose for a 1.5 month baby?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is bacterial infection then such dose is must and this is nothing to worry if the low dose given then there could be chances of developing resistance against the antibiotic, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
