My son is 1.5 months old he caught cold from me and is coughing sneezing is fussy with no fever ..we went to a pediatrician who told he has cold and ear pain..( infection)
He gave us ear drop
Antibiotic drops
And sinerest drops for 7 days
Is antibiotic safe for this age?
Ear infection he understood as of he pressed near the ear ..which made the baby cry and checked with torch too
There is no puss coming out as of now
Since I live in a city ..where drs are not so renowned I wanted to cross check of treatment is correct
