Question
What are the effects of giving an 8-month-old baby 6 shots of antibiotics?
Answer
Overuse of antibiotics may lead to the baby developing drug resistance. Generally, if the baby’s temperature does not exceed 38 degrees, physical methods for cooling can be used, such as alcohol wiping, wiping the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature is above 38 degrees, you can consider giving the baby ibuprofen suspension or naproxen. It is recommended to use antibiotics under a doctor’s guidance and follow the doctor’s instructions for medication.
