Patient's question:
My baby is 45 days old. Previously, they had an allergic reaction to penicillin for 3 days and were then switched to clindamycin, which they took for 2 days. During the medication, they felt a bit nauseous and had slightly swollen eyes. However, 3 days after stopping the medication, they are still feeling nauseous and occasionally have swollen eyes. Has this damaged their kidneys?Doctor's answer:
A one-month-old baby has been sneezing, feeling nauseous, and has swollen eyes. Penicillin and clindamycin, which were previously used, have been discontinued for three days. The sneezing may be completely related to a foreign object in the nasal cavity. When the air in the environment is fresh, be careful not to have irritating gases or dust. For the child who feels nauseous, there are no abnormalities in the oral and pharyngeal cavity. If the eyes are swollen, it may be due to poor sleeping posture or poor urine quality. If you suspect the need to go to the hospital for a urinalysis and liver/kidney function tests.
