Can newborns take cephalexin?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, my friend's newborn baby is sick. May I ask if the trial version can be used for cephalexin?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Newborns can take cephalosporin drugs. If the parents are not allergic to cephalosporin drugs, the baby's likelihood of being allergic is also low. During the baby's medication period, parents can observe whether the baby develops rashes, nausea and vomiting, or symptoms such as difficulty breathing. If allergic symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and receive symptomatic treatment based on the doctor's examination.
