Patient's question:
Fever of 38 degrees, the doctor prescribed Cefixime Granules for Suspension, and after taking it for 3 days, the fever subsided. However, after a week, I started having diarrhea. Later, I went for an IV drip, which helped. The doctor recommended taking some anti-inflammatory medicine at home to stabilize the condition. What kind of assistance do you need: Nausea and vomiting just...Doctor's answer:
First, after your child has been taking the medication for a week, they are experiencing nausea and vomiting again. Without considering the effectiveness of the drug, we do not know whether your child's diarrhea is confirmed as viral or bacterial, or simply indigestion? If your child's diarrhea is not bacterial, there is currently no need to take cephalosporin antibiotics for stabilization and treatment. At the same time, antibiotics can cause nausea and vomiting because they disrupt the intestinal flora. In mild cases, it can heal on its own after stopping the medication, while in severe cases, oral probiotics may be needed to adjust the intestinal flora. Regarding the nausea and vomiting caused by the medication you mentioned, it usually occurs during the medication period, and it is rare for children to experience it after taking the medication.
