The harm of ceftriaxone to children

People usually use cephalosporins for anti-inflammatory purposes. However, cephalosporins have relatively high requirements for human physical fitness. For example, children have relatively low immunity and resistance, so they should try to avoid using cephalosporins, otherwise it will cause damage to the body. So, what harm does ceftriaxone have on children?

Cephalosporins are common antibiotics, mainly used for anti-inflammatory purposes. Generally speaking, it is not recommended for children to take cephalosporins. After all, cephalosporins are used to kill bacteria, and not all inflammations are caused by bacteria. Abuse may lead to problems such as drug poisoning. Some babies may also experience allergies or antibiotic resistance, which may worsen the child's physical condition.

Of course, if you must take cephalosporins, you must be careful. Children must not take them if they are allergic to them, and they must not be mixed with other drugs during medication. Otherwise, the drugs will interact with each other, the antibacterial effect will be reduced, and even toxic side effects may occur.

To sum up, it is not impossible for newborns to take cephalosporin drugs, but they need to be treated with the right medicine to avoid abuse. Be sure to consult a doctor before taking the medicine. Parents must not make decisions on their own and pretend to know what they don’t. For the sake of their children’s health, they should also take good care of their children’s bodies to avoid worsening of the condition.

Precautions for children taking cephalosporins

1. Children with allergies should not eat

It is necessary to confirm whether the child has a history of allergy to cephalosporins, penicillins and other drugs. Those with a history of anaphylactic shock to penicillins should not use this product. When other patients use this product, they must be aware that the chance of cross-allergic reaction between cephalosporins and penicillins is about 5% to 7%, and it needs to be used with caution under close observation. If an allergic reaction occurs, stop taking the medication immediately. If anaphylactic shock occurs, immediate rescue is required on the spot, including keeping the airway open, oxygen inhalation, and the use of epinephrine and glucocorticoids.

2. Do not abuse

Cephalosporins should not be abused because if they are used too much, bacteria in the body will produce antibodies that can destroy cephalosporins and develop drug resistance. This will greatly weaken the antibacterial effect of cephalosporins, making infections caused by these resistant bacteria difficult to treat clinically.

When using cephalosporins, you must make a choice between mild and severe infections. If the infection is relatively mild, choose oral administration. All generations of cephalosporins have oral preparations. If the infection is more severe, intravenous administration can be chosen, usually by intravenous drip, and push injections should be used as little as possible. Never choose intravenous injection in order to recover quickly, as this may cause severe allergic reactions or other serious adverse reactions.

4. Do not mix with other medicines

Antibiotics and any other drugs should not be mixed together at will, even if they are both antibiotics. Because this will cause the two drugs to interact with each other, reducing their respective antibacterial effects and even producing new compounds that are harmful to the human body. Therefore, when using antibiotics, they must be administered separately and two drugs must never be placed in the same container at the same time.

5. Do not use it before or after drinking, as it can easily cause shock or fainting. Children with weak resistance may even be in danger of their lives. Of course, it is wrong for children to drink alcohol, and parents should not tease their children to drink.

6. Please read the instructions carefully for other contraindications, methods of consumption, side effects, etc. After all, cephalosporin drugs cover a wide range and will be slightly different.
