The combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium is used to treat many different infections caused by bacteria, such as sinusitis, pneumonia, ear infections, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and infections of the skin.
Baby breathing normally varies from slow to fast depending on his level of excitement. According to The Nemours Foundation, a baby can take over 60 breaths per minute when heâs awake, particularly if heâs just finished crying. A newborn baby may also normally stop breathing completely for 5 to 10 seconds, particularly while heâs sleeping. This pattern, known as periodic breathing, will eventually evolve into a more mature breathing pattern in his first few months.
Respiratory distress syndrome, or RDS, in premature babies is one of the more common health problems caused by being born early. Immature lungs are the culprit in RDS, which causes difficulty breathing. The working parts of the lungs are the alveoli, tiny sacs in the lungs that inflate with air when we breathe. Alveoli are covered with tiny blood vessels that carry oxygen from the air we breathe to the rest of the body. In premature babies, the alveoli donât always work as well as they should.
