Patient's question:
My child is six and a half months old. They have a bit of tracheitis and some upper lung issues. They haven't taken antibiotics before. The doctor prescribed azithromycin. I want to ask if they can take azithromycin granules for suspension? If they can, how much should they take?Doctor's answer:
Consider the baby can take erythromycin granules for oral suspension. Dosage for children:1. For children aged 6–11 kg, take 25 mg in the morning and evening, or as directed by a doctor.
2. For children aged 12–23 kg, take 50 mg in the morning and evening, or as directed by a doctor.
3. For children aged 24–40 kg, take 100 mg in the morning and evening, or as directed by a doctor. It is recommended to estimate the dosage based on the baby's weight.
Children with tracheitis should avoid getting cold and drink more warm water.
