Can Cotrimoxazole And Metronidazole Be Given Together To A Toddler?

My 3 year daughter, 12 kg. have loose stools with fever since yesterday. Is it safe to give her Cotrimoxazole and Metronidazole at the same time? I already give her ibuprofen for her fever today. Or what meds can you recommend that will be safe for her. Thank you.

Hello,

You can safely give cotrimoxazole and metronidazole together. It will not interact with each other or does not affect the efficacy of one another.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
