Vaccination and medication
Hello,
I have a query related to my 4 months old baby, his vaccination was due on 16th march of this month for Dtwp3 and pcv2, due to lock down I spoke to his doctor where he advised me to wait till 31st march but now govt has announced the lock down period till 14th april. Please advice what should be done on this situation?
And my 2.5 year old daughter has just started mild coughing should I give her maxtra or any other syrup please suggest?
Regards,
Neena
