What else can i do for a 3 month old who has the flu besides amoxicillin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on situation: Amoxicillin will do nothing for the flu. If there is a co-infection it may help with that. We have some guidelines for tamiflu (oseltamivir) down to 2 weeks of age but it must be started within the first 48 hrs to be any help and is usually reserved for hospitalized cases.
