is baby alright?? any problem are you facing
just observe the baby and no treatment is required
Don't worry. nothing to do if he is otherwise well
Just observe the child. No need to take tension if child is responsive. If vomiting occurs or any other complain occurs then take the child to nearest ER. Every dose has range for toxicity. But b careful next time
You must visit nearest paediatrician; don’t treat at home any more . Regards

nothing to worry because this drugs has some high theraputic range but be carefull about medicine double dosing , it may be very dangerouse with dtugs of low theraputic index
2 tsf are not toxic .
Novidate for chest infection in this age is not suitable.
Get a checkup by nearby qualified Paediatrician
The medicine ciprofloxacin is not licensed for use under one year of age and licensed over one year ONLY when its benefits outweigh the potential risks. If your son has no underlying disease he should remain alright. For his weight, up to 190 mg per dose is permissible. Keep an eye on the child, however. Ensure adequate intake of fluids.
