Medicines FAQs

What is the recommended age for giving medicines to babies?

Always check the product packaging for specific age guidelines. Many infant medicines, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen suspensions, are suitable for babies from 2 or 3 months old, but some are for older children. If you are unsure, always consult a pharmacist or doctor.

How do I safely administer medicine to my baby?

Always use the measuring device (syringe or spoon) provided with the medicine to ensure accurate dosing. Give the medicine slowly, aiming for the side of your baby's cheek to prevent choking. Follow the instructions on the label precisely regarding dosage and frequency.

When should I consult a doctor for my baby's symptoms?

You should seek medical advice if your baby's fever is very high (especially under 3 months old), if they are unusually drowsy, have difficulty breathing, develop a rash, or if their symptoms worsen or don't improve after a few days of using over-the-counter remedies.

Can I give adult medicine to my baby or child?

No, never give adult medicines to babies or children unless specifically instructed by a doctor or pharmacist. Children's bodies process medicines differently, and adult formulations can be too strong and dangerous for them. Always use products specifically designed for infants or children.
