  3.How to choose antibiotics for patients with myasthenia gravis.
  (1) Penicillin antibiotics, such as penicillin, ampicillin, carbenicillin.
  (2) Cephalosporin antibiotics, such as Pioneerbi, ceftazidime, cefotaxime sodium.
  (3) Macrolide antibiotics, such as erythromycin, leucomycin, azithromycin, cross-trimoxazole, etc.
  (4) Chloramphenicol.
  Second, the diagnosis and treatment of patients with myasthenia gravis should be noted.
  1, when patients are found or suspected of having myasthenia gravis, they should first go to the neurology department, and the tests that should be done include neostigmine test or tensilon test, antibodies related to myasthenia gravis in serum, and laboratory tests related to hyperthyroidism, because some patients may have hyperthyroidism at the same time, and only myasthenia gravis and hyperthyroidism can be treated at the same time for better results.
  2, about surgical treatment: At present, thymectomy therapy has been used abroad as the first choice for the treatment of myasthenia gravis. As long as after a period of regular drug treatment, myasthenia gravis symptoms are satisfactorily controlled, surgery should be considered. Patients who need surgery can be seen in cardiothoracic surgery.
  3, once patients with myasthenia gravis are injured or suffer from other diseases, they must go to a regular hospital as soon as possible, and refrain from prescribing to themselves! When taking anti-myasthenia gravis drugs, be sure not to adjust the dose of the drug at your own discretion.
