Question

My 4-month-old daughter has been urinating less over the past two days. Tonight, when I changed her diaper, the urine had the following color as shown in the picture. Upon a thorough examination, the doctor said her throat was a bit red, but everything else was fine. The doctor prescribed Amoxicillin granules and pediatric throat granules, saying that the baby will get better after taking the medicine, and her spirits are good! Another doctor I saw the day before prescribed Licorice Dried Ginger Soup and Platycodon Decoction. I would like to ask if these medications can be taken together?

Answer

Dear inquirer, I’m pleased to help clarify your concerns. Based on your description, there are symptoms of stomach upset! I do not recommend taking so many medications at once because the baby is too young. It’s best to choose one that has minimal interference with the baby. Give your baby more water and keep the indoor temperature moderate! These are my suggestions for the issue of “a 4-month-old baby experiencing reduced urination.” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
