A. U Can you give medicine to the child but only suggested by your doctor because the doctor only can advise you to take medicine to go for and also the medicines prescribed by doctors if there are any would not have any side-effects so you can go ahead with that if you saying that your child is facing any issue then you’ll have to consult your doctor for that
