Question
Is the baby’s sleepiness after taking Cephalosporin sulfate granules a side effect? The baby has diarrhea and seems to love sleeping after taking the medication.
Answer
The drug’s adverse reactions include anorexia, which generally has little impact. This medication is mainly used to treat nausea and vomiting, with minimal oral side effects, and can be taken orally by a five-month-old. Babies of this age naturally have long sleep durations, often less than 12 hours a day, so it may not be caused by the medication. The drug directly affects the intestines, thus having relatively few side effects. The recommended dosage for children is 10mg per kilogram of body weight, taken in three or four doses.
