Patient's question:
The baby had a little runny nose and sneezed two days ago, so I gave her some pediatric paracetamol and sulfamethoxazole-pyridoxine granules and anti-inflammatory medication. Later, yesterday, she had a bit of diarrhea, and today she has had more episodes of it. It seems that the cephalexin anti-inflammatory medication can cause diarrhea. Should I stop taking the anti-inflammatory medication? Now I'm giving her montmorillonite, is that okay?Doctor's answer:
This friend, based on your description, considering your baby's current condition, the nausea and vomiting were caused by taking the anti-inflammatory medication Cephalexin. It is correct to take Montmorillonite after experiencing nausea and vomiting. According to your baby's current condition, if the symptoms of a cold have improved, there is no need to continue taking Cephalexin. If the symptoms of a cold persist, you can take other anti-inflammatory medications, such as Azithromycin or Roxithromycin. I hope my reply can help you.
