A. you cannot give antibiotics without medical consultation. also if it's viral infection or an allergy then there is no role of antibiotics. all infection and illness doe not require antibiotics. also dosage is given as perd infection and type of disease. meet your dr for proper advice.

A. For a 9-month-old with a runny nose lasting a week, it's important to determine the cause of the symptoms before considering antibiotics. Runny noses in babies are often caused by viral infections, such as the common cold, which do not require antibiotics. Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections and should not be used for viral infections. It's best to consult with your pediatrician to assess whether your baby's symptoms are due to a bacterial infection that might require antibiotics or if it is a viral infection that can be managed with supportive care like hydration, nasal saline drops, and suctioning. Overuse or inappropriate use of antibiotics can lead to resistance and other complications, so it's crucial to use them only when necessary.
