Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is two and a half years old and has viral oral herpes. Because he had a mouthful of drool last night and was in pain, he couldn't take a nap. I gave him the following medication: one tablet of acyclovir and one tablet of cefixime each morning and evening (one set), and he was sprayed with seven sprays of ribavirin aerosol from 5 PM to 9 PM. Is this excessive? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it can be inferred. If it is viral oral herpes, antibiotics are ineffective unless there is a secondary bacterial infection that requires the addition of antibiotics. The baby's organ systems are not yet fully developed, so it is recommended not to use medication indiscriminately and to strictly follow medical advice or the instructions for use. Drink more warm water. The above is advice on the question "Is it harmful to use ribavirin aerosol spray excessively?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
