Question
A three-month-old infant, after 10 days of taking amoxicillin for an anterior swellpipe infection, inquires whether they should continue the medication and the potential effects of long-term antibiotic use on the baby’s development.
Answer
It is recommended to discontinue amoxicillin for three days, and if symptoms are severe, switch to intravenous treatment. It is also pointed out that antibiotics should not be taken for an extended period. For symptoms of viral infections, antiviral medications such as ribavirin or Pudelin anti-inflammatory oral liquid can be used for treatment.
