Patient's question:
After a child has taken Azithromycin and encounters respiratory infections or similar illnesses again, would taking Cefixime still be effective? It is said that Azithromycin is quite powerful.The kind of help needed: I want to know if, after a child has taken Azithromycin twice for three to five days each time, taking Cefixime or similar medications would be effective, except that it is said to be ineffective. It is said that Azithromycin is quite powerful.
Doctor's answer:
Actually, the difference between the two lies only in the type of antibiotics, and there is no issue of superiority or inferiority. The side effects of azithromycin are much more significant. Advice: Using other antibiotics in the future will still be effective, so there is no need to worry too much. The above advice is for the question "A child who has taken azithromycin again encounters respiratory infection." It is hoped that this helps you. Wishing you good health!
