Is it harmful for children to often cough and take Cefixime?

Patient's question:

The child often coughs and frequently takes Cefixime. Now, they have bowel movements twice a day, sometimes only a little, and don't eat much. Is this a side effect of Western medicine?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it's not necessarily so. Additionally, functional dyspepsia can indeed be caused by medication, adverse reactions. Cephalosporin antibiotics should not be taken frequently either, and they often come with gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms. It's essential to ensure the baby maintains a balanced diet and engage in appropriate exercise to strengthen their constitution. Many medications to adjust the gut microbiota can be used for treatment, such as Bao Le An.
