Are Omnacartil, Clavam Bid And Allegra Safe For 11 Month Old?
Hi There,
I have a 11 Month Old Daughter and she is having severe cough and congestion and also running nose, we took her to a doctor today and she was advised Omnacartil Suspension (prednisolone Sodium phosphate suspension) 2.5 ml 3 times a day, CLAVAM BID (Amoxicillin and Potassium Calvulanate Oral Suspension) 3.75 Ml 2 times a day and Allegra (Fexofenadine Hydrochloride Suapension)
I am a bit disturbed by the medicines prescribed and wanted a second opinion, these seem to be Steroids and Amoxcicillin and dont know if a 11 month should be given such medicines, can you please help me

Hi.. If these medicines are given for proper indication no need to worry.. Clavam is antibiotic and Allegra is anti allergic so no problem with these two..omnacort is steroid and if lots of wheezing is there wit past history of similar symptoms than ok otherwise wait for day or two before starting it... Thanks
