A. It's important to follow the guidance of your pediatrician when it comes to medications for your baby. If the prescribed medication, Beta Doxin Omega liquid, indicates it is for children 2 years and older, it is understandable to be concerned. Here are steps you can take: 1. **Double-Check with the Doctor:** Contact your pediatrician to clarify the prescription. Explain that the label states it is for children 2 years and older and ask for confirmation that it is safe for your 3-month-old baby. 2. **Dosage Verification:** Ensure that the dosage prescribed is appropriate for your baby's age and weight. Sometimes medications can be used off-label under medical supervision with adjusted dosages. 3. **Pharmacist Consultation:** Speak with your pharmacist. They can provide additional information about the medication and its suitability for your baby. Never give medication to a baby without clear and confirmed instructions from a healthcare professional. If there is any doubt, it's best to seek clarification before administering the medication.
