Question
How much of azithromycin capsules should a 6-month-old baby weighing 14 pounds take at once? How many times a day should the baby take them?
Answer
For a 6-month-old baby, it is generally not recommended to use azithromycin due to its potential for significant side effects and its unsuitability for such a young child. It is suggested to use cephalosporin antibiotics, such as ceftriaxone or cefaclor, instead. Azithromycin is not an essential choice unless diagnosed with mycoplasma infection. We hope the baby recovers soon.
