Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is the drug of choice for children for lower respiratory tract infection. No need to panic. Just look for hurried breathing and decreased consumption of breast feed, in that case visit your paediatrician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
