Question

My baby is almost one year old. Since he was six months old and had a cold, he has had stomach problems every time he takes anti-inflammatory medication, whether it’s indigestion or diarrhea. Now he has a cold again. Can I give him Mamimaai or other gastrointestinal drugs while taking the cold medicine?

Answer

Hello, your child’s condition may be due to respiratory inflammation, but antibiotics should not be taken orally. Diarrhea often indicates poor intestinal function in children. It is recommended that you consider intravenous treatment to alleviate symptoms. You might consider using azithromycin, and it’s best to perform a bacterial culture and sensitivity test. Sometimes, long-term treatment may not work due to infections with drug-resistant bacteria. It is advised that you check promptly and select antibiotics based on the results of the sensitivity test.
