Cefixime is not a treatment for colds. Cefixime is an antibiotic that can only be effective when the patient has a bacterial infection, and the most common pathogenic microorganisms for colds are viruses, so oral cefixime is ineffective. If the patient has a cold, he can empirically use fever clearing and detoxifying, or antiviral drugs, such as Qing Kai Ling, Pu Di Lan, Four Seasons Cold and Flu Granules, Ban Lan Gen, etc. He can also take oral Oseltamivir, Abidor, etc. While using antipyretic and antitoxic drugs, symptomatic treatment can be given, for example, if the patient has fever with body temperature >38.5℃, oral antipyretic drugs can be given, commonly used drugs include Merlin, paracetamol, etc. If the patient has a violent cough, oral cough suppressants such as lung power cough and compound licorice tablets can be given. If the patient has phlegm that cannot be coughed up, drugs to remove phlegm can be used, such as tranylcypromine, mucosolvan, eucalyptus lemongrass, etc.
