Hi
U mentioned that your baby had loose motions
Let me be clear that THERE IS NO ROLE OF ANTIBIOTIC in loose motions
All u have to give is ORS ( oral rehydration solution) and SYRUP ZINC 5 ml once a day for 7 days
So don’t worry if u have missed the dose of antibiotic
Next Steps
Only give antibiotic if there is PASSING OF BLOOD WITH LOOSE STOOL
Health Tips
There is no role of antibiotic in diarrhoea. Give only ORS and SYRUP ZINC
