Cephalosporin for colds?

Cephalosporins do not cure colds. Cephalosporins belong to the antibiotic class of drugs and are used to treat bacterial infections caused by sensitive bacteria. For example, respiratory tract infections, genitourinary infections, and subcutaneous soft tissue infections caused by sensitive bacteria. Colds are usually caused by viral infections, and antibiotics have no effect on viruses, so Cephalosporin cannot cure colds. However, if a cold is secondary to a bacterial infection, such as sinusitis, otitis media, etc., you can apply cephalosporin treatment under the guidance of a doctor. The use of cephalosporins should pay attention to the safety of the drug, the use of cephalosporin antibiotics is prohibited for people who are allergic to cephalosporin antibiotics. People with abnormal liver and kidney function should use it with caution. Cephalosporin antibiotics have fewer adverse reactions, but the more frequent side effects include: gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, etc.; allergic reactions, patients may have skin rashes, hives, etc., and in severe cases can lead to anaphylactic shock. Cephalosporins need to be used under the guidance of a physician, and should not be taken on their own. If the symptoms of patients with colds are serious, it is recommended to consult the hospital, improve the examination and treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
