Patient's question:
I see that the azithromycin instructions state that the dosage for children is not yet clear, and the precautions indicate that the safety for children or patients under 18 has not been determined. I am concerned whether this medication might have latent adverse effects on the child.Current condition: Congestion, runny nose, and fever for 3 days. Medical history and treatment effects: None.
Desired help: Will azithromycin cause latent adverse effects on the child?
Doctor's answer:
Medicines have certain side effects, but they usually disappear gradually after discontinuation. The common side effects of azithromycin are gastrointestinal reactions, which vary from person to person. Different people react differently to the drug. Personally, I frequently use this medication, and it is very safe. Taking azithromycin once a day after a meal can reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Please rest assured and give it to your child. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!The above is my suggestion regarding the question "I see that the azithromycin instructions state that the dosage for children is not yet clear." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
