Patient's question:
The child has been coughing for several days, and the medicine hasn't helped. Today, we went to see the doctor, who said the tonsils were swollen and prescribed three days of inhalation treatment. Besides cefixime and fulosh, the child took a pack of fulosh in the evening. Just finished eating, we measured the temperature—it was 38.5°C. We gave the child 3 milliliters of fever-reducing medicine. The doctor, my daughter weighs 25 pounds now, is it okay to give her 3 milliliters? After taking the fever-reducing medicine, can she take cefixime?Doctor's answer:
Antipyretics and cephalexin are not conflicting. Antipyretics have antipyretic effects, while cephalexin has anti-inflammatory effects. If the temperature does not decrease after taking antipyretics for 4 hours, it can be taken again. Antipyretics and cephalexin are not conflicting.
