Query on antibiotic for 1.3 year old boy
My baby is 1 year 3 months old. Yesterday he slipped and directly fell straight to the floor from the chair which caused him a injury on his inner lip due to his teeth. I took him to dental clinic to check if there is tooth break. His tooth is fine and doctor has prescribed ORAHELP ointment and MOXIKIND-CV antibiotic for 3 days. Is it fine to give him antibiotic, as the usual doctor whom I visit never suggests antibiotics mostly, and currently I am unable to reach him also. I have attached photo of the mesicines. kindly advise if I can give this antibiotic twice a day for 3 days or just the ointment would be sufficient.
