Patient's question:
Is it safe for a seven-month-old baby to eat an entire package of cefixime granules at once? Accidentally gave them the whole package dissolved in water. What should I do? They have a fever of 38-39°C, which goes down after taking medicine, but it comes back every few hours. They also have diarrhea. What should I do? Urgent.Doctor's answer:
The baby is 7 months old and has been taking one package of cefaclor. The baby has been having recurrent fever and nausea/vomiting. It is suggested that the baby may have accidentally ingested cefaclor, and the dosage is not at a toxic level, so the problem should not be too serious. It can be completely metabolized within 24 hours. During this period, please pay close attention to the baby's reaction.If the baby's fever is above 38.5°C, you can give them fever-reducing medication orally. Repeat the dose every 4 hours or more. If there is nausea/vomiting and frequent bowel movements, you can take oral montmorillonite to stop diarrhea. In the meantime, you can take Baole'an or probiotics orally to regulate the intestinal flora.
