Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:It has been 5 months already. It was started over 3 and a half months ago. One package is divided into 3 doses, one package per day. It was taken for a week. What kind of assistance is needed: Wondering if it will cause epilepsy...
Doctor's answer:
If it is taken according to the pediatric dosage, there is basically no problem. Gentamicin is rarely metabolized through the gastrointestinal tract, and it is usually administered via intramuscular injection when treating illnesses. If you are still not entirely at ease, you can go to the hospital for a thorough examination using ear electroacupuncture.In the future, if the child experiences nausea or vomiting, they can take many gastrointestinal mucosal protective agents, such as Smecta, or probiotics.
When giving medicine to the child in the future, it is best to ask the doctor more questions. The medications suitable for children are different from those for adults, and the dosages are also different. Taking the wrong medication may either fail to treat the illness or lead to poisoning.
The above suggestions are in response to the question, "Can taking Gentamicin granules cause epilepsy in infants?" I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
