Is erythromycin suitable for babies?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Is erythromycin suitable for the baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, erythromycin ointment generally contains hormones and should not be used indiscriminately. A four-month-old child is still very young, so if there are any discomforts, you can choose some medications specifically for children!
Hello, neonatal jaundice may be caused by physiological factors. Generally, it can improve on its own after a period of time. If it does not subside, pay attention to whether it is due to breastfeeding factors or other diseases. A comprehensive examination is needed.
