Can you take paracetamol with amoxicillin and serrapeptase?

Hmmmm, according to Wikipedia Paracetamol is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the U.S. and elsewhere and is responsible for most of the drug overdoses in the U.S. It's a pain reliever, as is serrapeptase. Seems little reason to use both at the same time. If the serrapeptase doesn 't work, then go back to the Paracetamol.

BUT, since serrapeptase's action is to digest certain non-living proteins, it seems unlikely that it would be affected or would affect these two drugs.

Is it ok to give my baby amoxicillin if you had the amoxicillin for one month?

If the amoxicillin has been reconstituted (...if it's a liquid when you get it at the pharmacy...) then No, you must NOT give it to your baby. After 7-14 days, the antibiotic will not work....even if you have had it in the fridge the whole time. If the infection has come back, the baby needs to visit with the doctor again. Giving "old" antibiotics can cause resistance and in some cases can be toxic...chemical changes make the medication dangerous. Even the tablets of antibiotics can become toxic past the expiration date.
