Could You Suggest The Alternative Ways Of Giving The Medicine For The One Year Old?
Good Morning Doctor, I am having a baby girl of 1 year and 3 months. In the last week she was having high fever 102 / 103 tempreture. When culsulted with our local pediatrician and after getting the urine report, it was detected E-coil growth (count is less than 100000). Her pediatrician has suggested Urifast medicine (syrup) 5 ml, 2 times a day. But when we give this medicine she immediatly vomets the same. Pls suggest different ways of giving this medicine or any other alternative
