Question

My one-and-a-half-year-old son was exposed to a tuberculosis patient, so he is taking an antibiotic called rifadin for prevention. The medicine in syrup form is not on the list of permitted medicines. Can it be given to him on Passover? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello,

It is mandatory to give it to him on Passover.

If possible, give it to the child before the age of Bar Mitzvah.
