Does the baby's dose of penicillin medication is the same as that of an adult?

Patient's question:

Does the baby take the same amount of penicillin? Why does the baby's buttocks get sore when the dosage is increased? Treatment history and effectiveness: ? What kind of help do you want: A clearer answer

Doctor's answer:

The dosage of medication for infants is related to their weight and not much to their age. A one-month-old baby and a three-month-old baby might receive the same amount of penicillin. Penicillin is no longer administered via the buttocks, so how did the buttocks get sore? If the area where the medication was applied becomes sore, please contact the hospital where the medication was administered and ask the doctor to resolve the issue. The above advice is for the question "Does the dosage of penicillin for babies differ?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
