What are the effects of lincomycin on babies?

Patient's question:

Treatment and Effect: I have been administering intravenous fluids to the baby. The medication contains lincomycin. However, some places do not allow the use of this drug. Could you please tell me if this medication has any interference with the baby? What kind of assistance do you expect: I hope the doctor can provide relevant explanations.

Doctor's answer:

1. Gastrointestinal reactions: Common symptoms include nausea, dry cough, abdominal pain, and nausea with vomiting; severe cases may exhibit abdominal colic, abdominal tenderness, severe nausea with vomiting (serous or purulent), accompanied by fever, abnormal thirst, and fatigue (pseudomembranous colitis). Nausea with vomiting, enteritis, and pseudomembranous colitis can recur in the initial stages of medication or several weeks after discontinuation.
2. Hematologic system: Rarely, leukopenia, neutropenia, eosinophilia, and thrombocytopenia may occur; aplastic anemia is rare.
