Patient's question:
My baby is 6 months old. Currently, she has a fever of 38 degrees and a sore throat. I bought Cefpodoxime Proxetil Powder for Suspension. Can this medication treat upper respiratory infections? Can a 6-month-old baby use it? Does it have side effects? Can this medication be taken together with Ibuprofen Suspension and Xiao'er Shuangqing Granules?Doctor's answer:
Hello, 6-month-old baby, you now have a fever of 38 degrees Celsius, sore throat, and it is considered acute tonsillitis. Cefpodoxime proxetil granules for suspension are an anti-inflammatory drug, and the baby can take it. It can be taken together with ibuprofen suspension and Xiao'er Shuangqing Granules. However, if the fever subsides, it is recommended not to take ibuprofen suspension. Drink more hot water to prevent catching a cold, and you can apply Shuangliao Houfeng Powder locally on the throat.
