Patient's question:
The child had diarrhea a few days ago, with black-green, bubbly, foamy stools. After seeing a doctor, it was diagnosed as a cold. The child was given Compound Chicken Gold Powder and Compound Pancreatin Powder. Now, the child still has diarrhea about 5-6 times a day, but their spirits are okay, and they are still eating milk. In the past two days, their eyelids have turned slightly purplish, so the doctor prescribed Bifidus Probiotics and Gentamicin Sulfate Granules.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your concern is correct, gentamicin sulfate granules do have many side effects on children. Suggestions: Due to the potential ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity of gentamicin sulfate granules, children should use them with caution. Additionally, gentamicin sulfate granules can also cause an increase in serum aminotransferase levels, which has obvious side effects on the liver and kidneys. Therefore, if the child is too young, it is recommended not to use gentamicin sulfate granules.
