Is my son of 8 months too young for penicillin ? my doctor prescribed it as he had red swollen tonsils

Penicillin: Penicillin is safe to use in a 8 month old. The real question is whether or not your infant has strep throat. Strep throat is rare in children under 2 years of age. Did your child have contact with someone with documented strep throat? Did your doctor do a throat swab for strep culture? These are questions to ask your doctor.

Penicillin : Penicillins Should be fine at any age as long as they are not allergic to it.

Penicillin : Penicillins can be given to children of any age , what is important is the indication of penicillin.
