Hi. When will my baby stop taking the co-trimoxazole antibiotic because he is negative and on formula now?
Answer
Hi there
Congratulations on your new baby – and thanks for your Q and for letting us post this online.
Please could you speak to your doctor or clinic about this. Any medicine for your baby needs to be started and stopped by the doctor.
The details of how long each medicine lasts can be different depending on both you and your baby’s health. These antibiotics are not related to the way you feed your baby. They are to protect his overall health.
As well as not being doctors we also don’t have these details about your and your baby’s medical history.
