A six month old baby died in Hyderabad after receiving treatment for fever at a local hospital. The infant was taken to the hospital after developing a high fever. Doctors examined him and prescribed medicines. Soon after the treatment, his condition worsened suddenly.
The grieving family has alleged that expired medicine was given to the baby. They claimed that this negligence directly led to his sudden death. The accusation has triggered serious concern among local residents and sparked public outrage.
Police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the incident. Officials are currently waiting for detailed medical reports to determine the exact cause of death. Authorities said action will be taken if any lapse is confirmed.
The tragic incident has once again raised questions about hospital safety and medicine quality. Just days ago, reports emerged about children in different places dying after consuming contaminated cough syrup. These repeated cases have created widespread anxiety among parents.
