Question
The child has been coughing for several days, and the medication hasn’t helped. We took them to the doctor today, who said the throat and tonsils are swollen. The doctor prescribed three days of nebulization treatment, along with Ceftriaxone and Flosol. The child ate a packet of Flosol last night, just after finishing it, we took their temperature, and it was 38.5 degrees. We gave them 3 milliliters of fever-reducing medicine. The doctor, my daughter weighs 25 pounds, is 3 milliliters the right amount? Can they take Ceftriaxone after taking the fever-reducing medicine?
Answer
There is no conflict between the fever-reducing medicine and Ceftriaxone. The fever-reducing medicine has its own properties for reducing fever, while Ceftriaxone has properties for inflammation reduction. If the temperature does not drop four hours after taking the fever-reducing medicine, it can be taken again.
