Question
What is the method of taking cefaclor granules for children? Can it be taken if the child is experiencing diarrhea and high fever?
Answer
Cefaclor is a commonly used antibiotic, with a recommended dosage of 20-30 mg/kg per day, divided into three doses. For a child weighing 10 kilograms, each dose can be 100 mg. However, in the case where the baby has diarrhea and a high fever, it is advisable to first go to the hospital for a check-up. If there is no bacterial infection, there is no need to use antibiotics, and symptomatic treatment medications can be taken. If there is a bacterial infection, then antibiotics can be considered.
