Thanks for asking
I gone through your question. you daughter is having fever , doctor is suspecting urinary infetion . and there is some medication issue.
The oflomac forte and oflomac contain ofloxine antibiotic. the per ml contain of oflomac forte is double then oflomac. as you said that you got oflomac in place of oflomac forte. so you have give double the amount of oflomac ,what ti amount has been pricribed of oflomac forte. Eg if you have been pricribe 5 ml of oflomac forte in each dose , then you have to give 10 ml of oflomac ( double to amount of oflomac forte pricribed).
IF i was your treating pediatrican and if I suspect the urinary infection , i would advise urine examintion. so that most effective antibiotic may be chose.
hope i answer your question.
