A two-year-old boy died at a private clinic in the port city yesterday due to wrong treatment, his family members alleged.
The boy, Sabbir Ahmad Chowdhury Ishat, was admitted to Medical Centre, a private clinic at OR Nizam Road, with high fever on the night of October 4, said his father Golam Sarwar, manager of Kabir Steel, a steel plant.
The doctors diagnosed that the baby was suffering from typhoid and he was under treatment of Dr Moniruzzaman, he said.
The boy was also cured after three days of treatment and the doctors released him at around 10:30am yesterday, he added.
"As I was about to pay the medical bill before leaving the clinic, the on-duty doctor and nurses told me that the baby needs one more antibiotic injection," the boy's father told The Daily Star.
One of the nurses then gave the boy an antibiotic injection although two more doses were earlier given through intravenous saline, he added.
"After receiving the injection, my son screamed loudly and died within seconds in my lap," he said.
The officials and doctors of the clinic were not available for comment despite repeated attempts to reach them on their mobile phones.
