Instead of giving the 5-year-old medication to ease pressure in the brain as prescribed, the nurses administered an intravenous drip with an antibiotic.

Two nurses have been sacked in eastern China after a five-year-old boy died within hours of being given the wrong medication last month.

Doctors ordered a CAT scan when Chenyi soon appeared to be in discomfort but it did not reveal any abnormalities. The nurses were sacked and other hospital staff would be punished pending a final investigation, the commission said on Tuesday.
