Symptoms of ceftriaxone allergy in children

It is common for children to catch colds. In many cases, babies have to go to the hospital for treatment when they have a cold or inflammation. The hospital will prescribe some antibiotics, such as cephalosporin, to reduce inflammation. But some children may be allergic to this type of medicine. Therefore, children need to be extremely careful when taking medicine. Sometimes mothers don’t know whether their children are allergic to cefuroxime. Today I will tell you about the symptoms of cefuroxime allergy in children.

1. Will children be allergic to cefuroxime?

1. The baby's physique varies from person to person. Some babies will have allergic reactions after taking cephalosporins, with red bumps appearing on their bodies. Most of them will have itching, and in severe cases, it can lead to symptoms such as respiratory depression. Use anti-allergic drugs promptly

2. In some cases, the baby was not allergic to cephalexin before, but became allergic later. In fact, this is normal because everyone's physical constitution changes. Since the body is now having an allergic reaction to this drug, symptoms will occur and this type of drug should no longer be used in the future. Other medicines can be used instead.

2. Symptoms of cephalosporin allergy

1. When you are allergic to cephalosporin, the symptoms are diffuse bright red spots or red maculopapules ranging from half a rice grain to a bean size, densely and symmetrically distributed, and the shape is like measles or scarlet fever.

2. Cephalosporin allergy can cause dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting, skin itching, and even edema of skin tissue. If the allergy is severe, you may even experience chest tightness, shortness of breath, laryngeal spasm, difficulty breathing, and even transient shock. What's worse, it may be life-threatening.

3. What to do if you are allergic to cephalosporin

Discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention. When we are sick and need to take ceftriaxone, doctors will usually do a skin test or ask the patient if he or she has a history of drug allergy. If so, we must choose drugs with the same effect. However, some people do not find allergies during skin tests, but have allergic reactions later. This is also a situation. There are also some auxiliary methods, such as drinking more water and eating more fruits, which can effectively help alleviate allergic symptoms.
