Was He In Error?

A Prescriber writing a prescription In my early years of practice, about a decade ago, I had an experience that taught me that it is unwise to follow the path of assumptions. Never assume to know something that you do not or a concept that you are not clear with. Doing this can lead to grave consequences. I was working an evening shift in a retail pharmacy when a client came in with a prescription on which was written the order: - Tabs Amovine i bd X 1/52. Amovine (or Amovin as it is correctly written), is a brand of anti-infective medication by Evans Therapeutics, containing Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, used for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Child Care during the Common Viral Infections Cold and flu are the two most common viral infections affecting children. Unfortunately there isn't any cure for common cold and influenza since most antibiotics doesn't have any effect on these viruses. Antibiotics are only indicated for secondary bacterial infections. As a parent the best you can do is make your baby feel comfortable by ensuring they get enough rest and drink plenty of fluids. How can this be achieved? Relieving A Stuffy Nose • For infants a rubber suction bulb can be used for sucking drainage from the nasal passages. Your child will breathe a lot more freely when the clogged mucus is sucked out from the nose. • Using 1-2 saline drops (saltwater) for each nostril greatly helps in alleviating congested nose. • Place a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier in the room of your kid to keep their nasal secretion from drying up. The humidifier would provide the extra moisture which would make your baby more comfo
