Cefixime tablets are not needed for colds because colds are mostly viral infections, and antibiotic treatment is not needed unless the patient has clear symptoms of bacterial infection. Symptoms of bacterial infection include coughing, coughing up yellow sputum with sore throat, tonsillar suppuration visible in the pharynx with pus moss and pus spots, elevated leukocytes and elevated neutrophil ratio in laboratory tests are all symptoms of bacterial infection, which can be treated with cefixime tablets or other antibiotics, otherwise, antiviral treatment should be the mainstay of treatment. Antiviral drugs should also be applied 2 days before the onset of the disease, if there is no clear fever or clear laboratory tests for viral infection, antiviral drugs can also not be applied. Because the virus mutates rapidly, if it is not clear which type of virus it is, random application is not effective.
