Question
Can a 2-year-old child use penicillin?
Answer
Based on the description provided, it is not possible to determine whether penicillin G can be used. It is recommended to conduct a skin test to determine suitability. Typically, penicillin G is a long-acting injectable, which is slowly absorbed after intramuscular injection, and the active ingredient in the body is penicillin G. It is suggested to further take the child for routine stool examination; if no inflammation or infection is found, there is no need to take anti-inflammatory medication to avoid exacerbating diarrhea symptoms. If the diarrhea is caused by indigestion, there is no need to worry too much; some medications that strengthen the spleen and regulate the intestinal flora can be given to the child for treatment.
