After taking a cephalosporin-based medication, you can take Merlin to reduce fever. Merlin is ibuprofen suspension, which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is a symptomatic fever-reducing and pain-relieving drug. It and cephalosporins are two types of drugs that play different therapeutic roles, respectively. Cephalosporins are treated for the cause of the fever and are antibiotics that kill bacteria. In fever caused by bacterial infection, Merlin can be used to reduce fever symptomatically, while cephalosporin drugs are used to kill bacteria and play a role in treating the cause of the disease, so after taking cephalosporin drugs, Merlin can be used normally to reduce fever. During the use of cephalosporin drugs, you should pay attention to strict abstinence from alcohol, and you should not eat any food or medicine containing alcohol, for example, patchouli contains a lot of alcohol, so you should not use it together with cephalosporin drugs.
