Patient's question:
When the baby was one month old, they had diarrhea and were given medicine for it, but accidentally took Amoxicillin capsules instead. They took it for about two or three days, twice a day, with half a capsule each time. It has been ten days now, and they just realized today. Is there any major problem?Doctor's answer:
Amoxicillin capsules are anti-inflammatory drugs with minimal side effects, so you can wait and see. The main side effects of amoxicillin are: it may cause allergies, and since it is primarily metabolized by the kidneys in its original form, it can increase kidney pressure. Long-term use is not good for the stomach and intestines. You can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. The above advice is for the question "When the baby was one month old, they had diarrhea and were given medicine for diarrhea, but the wrong medicine was given," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
