Sir, my child has procalcitocin level 1.21 after 60 hours of birth.. pediatrician started antibiotics from then and then from the next day he recovered beautifully.. it's over 72 hours now.. he has no symptoms but the doctor still suggests to continue antibiotics for another 3 days.. what should I do? Please help
Best to follow the advice as he might have other factors supporting the decision. I personally avoid longer than needed but it should be based on all factors
Sir, yesterday all the tests was done again and PCT of my baby down to 0.17 now.. also all the reports are good.. after 5days of complete antibiotics (piperacilin+tazobactum and amikacin) today my baby was discharged.. but at the time of discharge paediatric suggest me to give taxim o drop 10 drops 2times a day for another seven days.. is this necessary as he doesn't have any symptoms? Is it affect my baby's natural immune system? Please guide sir.. also blood culture after 72 hours has no growth

@@supriyodey1682 please note I can’t guide on such issues but you can ask the doctor if it is reasonable not to give this
Ok sir.. just 1 query.. is taxim drop has any negative impact on infants? Is it lower in build antibody making power of baby?
@@supriyodey1682 any unnecessary use of antibiotic is better avoided, so discuss as above so you can avoid unless essential
