Please tell me dr. is it safe for my baby. thanks rajesh
[|AI|]  Hi, if the child has fever and has decreased oral acceptance, it could be due to sepsis. Child will require a course of antibiotic in form of Cefuroxime and a NSAID in form of Paracetamol or Metonymic acid. Metonymic acid like any other NSAID also has side effect in form of loose stools, gastritis, nausea, hepatitis. But it has no contraindication for a month-old child. I suggest you continue with the same prescription and see a pediatrician if condition gets worsened.
