Cephalosporin drugs are divided into 4 generations, according to different pathogenic infections, choose different drugs, children are not required to use the third generation of cephalosporin.
Cephalosporin compared with penicillin, antibacterial strong, toxicity and allergy probability are lower, so often as the doctor preferred.
Cephalosporins are only effective against bacteria, such as blood analysis suggests that the percentage of white blood cells and neutrophils are elevated, combined with elevated CRP or calcitoninogen, or if a clear causative agent is found, they are ineffective against viruses, mycoplasma, fungi and other infections.
From the 1st to the 4th generation of cephalosporins, the effect against gram-positive cocci is getting weaker and weaker, and the effect against gram-negative bacilli is getting stronger and stronger, so it is not true that the higher the number of generations, the better the antibacterial effect.
If your child has a bacterial infection, it is recommended that you consult a medical professional to find out the cause of the disease, and then use the appropriate medication to achieve a more significant effect.
