Question

Can Cefpodoxime Proxetil Dry Suspension be used to treat upper respiratory infections? My baby is six months old, currently has a body temperature of 38 degrees, and has a sore throat. I have purchased Cefpodoxime Proxetil Dry Suspension. Is this medication suitable for treating upper respiratory infections? Can a six-month-old baby use it? Are there any side effects? Can this medication be taken with Ibuprofen suspension and Children’s Shuangqing Granules?

Answer

Hello, a six-month-old baby with a body temperature of 38 degrees and a sore throat is diagnosed with acute tonsillitis. Cefpodoxime Proxetil Dry Suspension is an anti-inflammatory medication that is suitable for use in babies. It can also be taken with Ibuprofen suspension and Children’s Shuangqing Granules. However, once the fever subsides, it is recommended not to continue using the Ibuprofen suspension. Drink plenty of warm water to prevent colds, and use Shuangliu Fengsan in the throat area.
