Question
A two-year-old child was diagnosed with an acute upper respiratory infection two days ago, and the parents are consulting about the suitability of using cephalosporin drugs and the possibility of allergic reactions.
Answer
The doctor recommends using pediatric Chai Gui fever-reducing granules, snake gall and tangerine peel oral liquid, and ibuprofen suspension to treat the acute upper respiratory infection. However, after the cough worsened with wheezing, the child was diagnosed with bronchitis and was prescribed ammonium chloride bromhexine oral solution and cefixime dry suspension. Regarding the use of cephalosporin drugs for children, the doctor points out that attention should be paid to allergic reactions and suggests that during cold weather, it is important to keep warm, drink plenty of water, rest more, and use physical cooling methods when there is a low fever.
