Question
What is the recommended dosage of azithromycin capsules for babies?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis or pharyngitis, it is recommended to take 12 milligrams of azithromycin per kilogram of body weight per dose, with a maximum daily dose not exceeding 0.5 grams. It is suggested to use fruit-flavored azithromycin dry suspension or granules, as these formulations have a better taste and are more easily accepted by children. Avoid using hot water when taking the medication to prevent affecting its efficacy. The medication should be taken one hour before meals or two hours after meals to reduce stomach irritation. Children with conditions such as stomach pain, asthma, epilepsy, heart failure, and others should take azithromycin cautiously and pay attention to potential drug interactions. May your baby recover soon!
