Patient's question:
Newborn, female. Born on 11.16, exactly 7 days old today. Overdosed with Cefixime. Intended dose was 1/4 tablet, but mistakenly gave 1 tablet due to misreading the dosage. Each tablet contains 250mg, and the baby weighs 6 pounds. 1. Please inform about the adverse reactions and potential long-term effects? 2. How to urgently resolve this situation?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to serve you. Based on the situation you described, it is speculated that the side effects of cephalosporin are mainly reflected on the kidneys. It is recommended that you temporarily give your child more water to enhance drug metabolism. When giving medication to your child in the future, pay attention to the dosage. Pay attention to follow-up and careful observation in daily life. If you notice any abnormal discomfort symptoms in your child, take them to the hospital for screening in time. If you have any questions at any time, feel free to consult. Wishing you and your baby good health and goodbye.
