What to do if your child is allergic to ceftriaxone

When a child has a cold, he or she needs to be treated with medication and some anti-inflammatory drugs. In many cases, cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs are the first choice. However, for some children, the use of cephalosporin may cause allergies. At this time, it must not be used again. Other drugs should be chosen for treatment. When using some penicillin, skin tests should also be performed. After all, allergies are very harmful to the baby's health.

What to do if your child is allergic to ceftriaxone

1. You can take appropriate anti-allergic drugs to relieve allergic symptoms, such as taking some chlorpheniramine

2. Keep your baby's skin clean and hygienic, and bathe your baby on time.

3. Do not eat irritating food and give your baby more water.

4. When a systemic allergic reaction occurs, the sick child should lie flat, unbutton his clothes, tilt his head to one side, pay attention to changes in blood pressure, clear secretions from the mouth and nose, keep the airway open, and go to the hospital as soon as possible.

How parents can prevent drug allergies

1. Do not buy medicine or take medicine on your own, especially prescription drugs.

2. When going to the hospital for treatment, tell the doctor about any abnormal conditions that occurred after your baby took the medicine in the past, and remind the doctor to pay attention when prescribing.

3. If your child is allergic to a certain drug, parents must remember to tell the doctor when they seek medical treatment again.

4. When using penicillin, a skin test must be performed

5. If an allergic reaction occurs after using a certain drug, stop taking the drug immediately and seek medical attention immediately.

How to safely use medicine for babies

1. To reduce fever, the safe choices are acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Don't buy anything else.

2. It is best to consult a doctor before purchasing cold and cough medicine, especially compound preparations (those with multiple ingredients). Do not buy them casually on your own. For common colds caused by viruses, do not buy so-called antiviral drugs on your own.

3. Never buy anthelmintics on your own just because you suspect your baby has worms.

4. Antibiotics, even those for external use, should be used with caution (such as chloramphenicol).

5. Before taking the medicine, be sure to read the instructions carefully to understand whether it can be used for children of this age group, as well as contraindications and adverse reactions.

Editor's words

If your baby is allergic to cephalexin, you can take some anti-allergic drugs, but this method is not the first choice. The safe way is to let the baby drink more water and observe the baby's reaction. If the allergy is severe, you should seek medical attention immediately. If your baby catches a cold or is sick, do not blindly prescribe medicine. It is recommended that you see a doctor even if it is a minor cold. However, you can prepare a bottle of antipyretic medicine in case of emergency.
