Is It Safe To Take Flucloxacillin For Infection On Nail And Thumb?
Hi, my 2week old baby has been taking flucloxacillin 4mls 3 times daily for 2days to treat an infection under her nail on her thumb but she is very sleepy. Still taking her milk but just sleeping between every feed with little awake time, is this ok? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
At 2 weeks, most babies spend most of their time sleeping. They would wake only to feed and change.
This is true for babies up to 1 to 2 months. As they get older, their wake periods would increase.
If she is feeding well and other wise well then there is not likely to be any need to be concerned.
I hope this helps
