A. yes it's infection mostly it is important to follow the instructions opinion advice and medicines course given by your doctor for the problem . they are safe if given by registered medical practitioner. do not take medicines not prescribed by the doctor . take a follow up in few days if it is not improving for need of treatment modification or any lab / radiological investigations.

A. Infection with a newborn child that’s quite a mess you know it self because the child has just taken birth to know your child is struggling with an infection so it is going to take some time your child is going to be completely alright but you have to go ahead with medication and precautions suggested by the doctor
