Hello. The son is prescribed Amotax in suspension at a dose of 2x9ml. How many days should I give an antibiotic? The doctor prescribed one bottle that will last for 5 days. Isn't that too short?

Usually, treatment is continued for 2-3 days from the moment the symptoms of the disease disappear. For this reason, at the latest on the 5th day of treatment, it is worth going for a check-up to a pediatrician who will decide on further proceedings. To avoid antibiotic diarrhea, during and after treatment, you should give your child appropriate probiotics, e.g. Dicoflor Baby, Acidolac Baby: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/107702/dicoflor-baby-krople/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/1692/acidolac-baby-krople-krople/apteki On the pages above, you can compare the prices of recommended probiotics in online pharmacies and place an order with home delivery or collection at the pharmacy.
