Hi,
We best avoid drugs to be used in very young kids. However, if needed we may need to give the drug incorrect dose. Using the above drug is not unlikely to cause any big concern if used for five days.THough if not needed, better to avoid any drug.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
