hi, my baby is 18 months old, some pimples showed up on her fast for more than a week now, one or two appeared first then all her face had them , yesterday she had a fever so i took her to the doctor he said she had throat infection and she should take mesporin 1 gm, for 4 days. I gave her the first injection but I am worried this is too much, what should i do. PS: her fever was 38.5 yesterday in the mornig,after medication t decreased and didn t go up again, just a few points above 37. thx
Child might be having a local streptococcal or staph infection. Restoring(ceftriaxone) is a good antibiotic against these gram positive infections. Give it at a dose of 80 to 100 mg/kg/day in 2 divided doses. Give the child some antipyretic for fever(like acetaminophen). Keep a good nutrition and HY Chat Doctor.
