Question
My baby is 45 days old and has been taking ciprofloxacin for three days before switching to clindamycin for two days due to an allergic reaction. During the medication, he experienced some nausea and his eyes were a bit swollen. But now, three days after stopping the medication, the nausea and occasional eye swelling are still there. Could this be kidney damage?
Answer
Continuous sneezing might be related to nasal irritation by foreign objects. When the air is fresh, be cautious of irritant gases or dust. Pay attention to the child’s oral and pharyngeal area as there should be no abnormalities. Swelling of the eyes may be due to poor sleeping posture or urinary issues. If you suspect any need, consider hospital checks for urine routine and liver-kidney function tests.
