Question

Can a 5-and-a-half-year-old child continue to take erythromycin after 4 days?

Answer

Hello, regarding the use of erythromycin in children, it is recommended to discontinue the medication. After stopping the medication, it is important to ensure the child avoids colds and flu, and to avoid oily and spicy foods, focusing on a light diet. Additionally, it is suggested to give the child a few days of pediatric cefixime granules and pediatric cough syrup granules for better treatment effects.
