Patient's question:
My baby is 2 years old. Recently, he has been coughing and has been given Cefixime for 3 days and then Azithromycin for 2 more days. His cough has improved a lot. Last night, he vomited and had diarrhea, and even when he drank water, he vomited and couldn't eat. He doesn't have much energy, and it might be related to the Azithromycin. Today, I gave him another medicine to hang. I sent it to you to check! How is this medicine? What does this medicine treat? Is it the right medicine for his condition? Will he still need to take it tomorrow? What should I do?????Doctor's answer:
In this case, the baby may be experiencing side effects from the medication Azithromycin. It is mainly recommended to adopt a method of adjusting the body while also following a light, easily digestible diet with small, frequent meals. Okay, avoid fish, shrimp, spicy, and irritating foods, and do not eat rice porridge or millet porridge. Rest and care for the baby for two to three days, and it will gradually improve. The medication being administered through intravenous treatment is appropriate, and there is no issue. Tomorrow, it is important to focus on medication use, and we need to monitor the baby's episodes of vomiting and nausea tomorrow.
