Question

Does ceftriaxone have adverse effects on newborns? As parents, we are very concerned about this and hope the doctor can give us some advice.

Answer

Has the doctor checked the newborn’s hemoglobin level? Ceftriaxone is safe, but a comprehensive treatment may be needed if there is a concurrent infection. Ceftriaxone is an antibiotic used for infectious treatment, and studies show it is safe for newborns. However, ceftriaxone is not a necessary measure for treating jaundice. If jaundice recurs, medication treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.
