My son is 5months and 16days old and he was suffering from severe cough which is now reduced as the Doctor has put him on Augmentin Antibiotic and now he is normal, The doctor now has advised for Septillin syrup from Himalaya to be given for one month minimal which will help him increase immunity. Is it safe to give it to my baby. Please advice.
Most of the episodes of cough and cold are caused due to certain viruses. Antibiotics are generally not required, but some doctors give antibiotics with the assumption of super added bacterial infections which are sometimes present. Reptilian is supposed to act as an immunomodulator and help in enhancing immunity, but this demand is not backed by evidence. However, there should be no harm associated in giving reptilian to a baby of this age.
