Question
A 4-year-old boy experienced abdominal pain and diarrhea after eating cold food. His mother gave him Norfloxacin capsules and cephalosporin drugs, and his symptoms subsequently alleviate . But later it was discovered that the instructions note that it is not suitable for use under the age of 18, and parents are worried about side effects. Will a child have side effects from taking Norfloxacin capsules?
Answer
After eating cold food, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting are reactions caused by a slowdown in gastrointestinal motility and inflammation. After taking Norfloxacin capsules, an anti-inflammatory drug, it will have an anti-inflammatory effect. However, it can interfere with kidney function to a certain extent, so it is not recommended for children to use it.
