Yes you are right Dr. Dev, Quinolones have been shown to damage the cartilages in the various studies.

I talked the director of Kanti Child Hospital Dr. Shrestha and he said that the research has shown that three day regimen of ciprofloxacin in child is safe. Thats why it is being used in the IMCI protocol.

Thank you so much for bringing interesting discussion. It also made me to go through the literature and hence verified by the leading paediatrician.
