my son is 13months old he is having fever with cough and chest congession since 20 days all test shows bacterial infection paeditrician gave fever at night. him gentamycin antibiotic and salbutamol cough syrup as soon as his antibiotic course is over he again had fever and chronic cough especially
How many days he was been on antibiotics? Was it gentamicin alone, or any other antibiotics given together?
Gentamicin alone is not a good choice for treating chest infection in children. For sever cases, I used to add a penicillin group of drug also. Also, this may need further evaluation with chest x ray and blood culture. Kindly get back to your pediatrician.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
