Dear Patient,

These motions are due to the antibiotic. As you will complete the course of medication they will halt.

Give your baby sufficient hydration.
Continue nebulizing baby twice a day for a week. Its the most effective way to relieve congestion.

You can give coferb syrup 1 tsp for cough. Its natural ivy leaf extract so very safe for babies esp when teething
Also, give panadol drops 6 hourly alternating with brufen syrup to alleviate pain of teething.
