My twins were born on 35th week with weight 1980 and 1850 gms. They are given two antibiotics - zostum and netilmycine. Doctor told babies are fit but the antibiotics are given to prevent infection. My question is are these antibiotics harmful for babies? What is the max dose for these two?

Helo. Antibiotics are indicated if there is documented infection. We do blood culture etc. To know if baby is suffering from infection. Every medicine has side-effects. U can take 2nd opinion.
