What kind of help is needed: The doctor prescribed Acetyltetracycline Granules. I didn't understand the instructions! For a 13-month-old baby, how many times a day should they take it, and is one bag given per dose?
Doctor's answer:
The child has bronchitis, and I feel that cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs work much better. We often use cefixime granules for oral suspension, combined with calibavirin, plus lung-cleansing and expectorant medications. Glycogit granules are taken according to body weight at a dose of 25-50 mg/kg per day, divided into 3-4 doses. The course of treatment lasts 7-14 days.If the baby weighs 10 kilograms (about 20 jin), that would be 250 mg to 500 mg per day, which is the maximum total dose for the day. The 250 mg or 500 mg dose should be divided into 3-4 doses, with one bag taken each time. Taking three times a day is sufficient, as long as it falls within this range.
