Hello, the doctor prescribed my son 20 months has -antibiotic 2 * 4ml son weighs about 18kg. Isn't that too much ml? Now the question is, if he takes amotaks, can I do him inhalations Pulmicort or Ventolin or is it best to stop inhaling? I would add that my son has a terrible cough,as he swallows saliva cries, coughs crying, sleepless nights .. Lack of strength anymore

When determining the dose of Amotaks, the doctor takes into account not only the body weight and age of the child, but also the anticipated pathogens (bacteria) and their likely sensitivity to antibacterial agents, as well as the severity and location of the infection. We do not have information in which indication the antibiotic is to be used (what is the disease), so it is impossible to determine whether the dose of antibiotic given is too high. Your doctor may prescribe a different dose than the one in the leaflet. We wrote about it here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/leczenie-off-label-poza-wskazaniami There are no contraindications to combine the antibiotic with inhalations using Pulmicort or Ventolin. However, it should be remembered that these are prescription drugs and only he can make the final assessment of whether the administration of the drug is advisable in a given case. On your own, please do not give such strong drugs to the child and do not make decisions about treatment yourself.
