First tell me that why are you giving antibiotic (cefixime) to your child. Usually there is no need of giving it to newborn which is just 2 days old unless there is some medical issues. So stop it.

Theres no need to panic. Do not self prescribe antibiotics to children.

You should not use antibiotics at this age unless it's proved bacterial infection. But infection at this age is serious.

It is safe for infants, do not worry.

Do not worry. The dose is 10 mg/kg/day and you have given 20 mg so it will not harm but it is better to be avoided below 6 months. And antibiotics are not required without valid reason.
