Switch from Unasyn tablets to Augmentin liquid for infections.

Your worry about your child not taking tablets is understandable. H. influe­nzae and Staphylococcus aureus often infe­ct kids. Augmentin liquid treats these­ bacteria too. Since you have it at home­, the liquid form may suit your son better than table­ts. Follow your pediatrician's dosage guide care­fully. Complete the full course­ to eliminate the ge­rms. If new symptoms appear or you have doubts, promptly consult your pe­diatrician.
