Dear Patient,

Starting such a small child on antibiotics is strongly discouraged. Since you have started and probably even finished the course by the time this message reaches you, plz be advised for the future to not unnecessarily give antibiotics. Give the child diet rich in cooked apple, rice, banana, sagoodana, homemade yogurt, ispaghol, bread(double roti). Avoid foods that inc diarrhea. Boil his bottles and bowls and water before giving him each time. Good luck
