My baby is preterm at 33 weeks. He is now 32 days. I have incorrectly given 2.5 ml creamaffin instead of calcium syrup. Is it safe or do I need to take him to hospital? Answer me immediately urgent.

Hi thanks for writing to Practo.  It's ok , don't worry. It may cause a bit of loose motions though. If baby has too much loose motions or over sleepiness go to doctor
