Question
The child has been crying and fussing constantly lately, and not eating much. I would like to inquire about how to handle the situation where sugar pills are taken late.
Answer
If the child has a sensitive stomach, taking sugar pills may exacerbate the condition. Generally, sugar pills can be taken up until one year of age. If the child is feeling unwell, it is advisable to delay the administration. It is recommended to use amoxicillin clavulanate potassium granules for anti-inflammatory purposes, and pediatric cough syrup for treating cough and phlegm. These medications are specifically designed for children, offering good efficacy with minimal side effects, making them easier for children to tolerate.
