Is it safe to take Cefuroxime by a breastfeeding mother?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Though the low level of Cefuroxime (Zocef) is being secreted in breast milk and postulated possible side effects are a change of intestinal flora of the baby and may lead to diarrhea. But the prospective studies failed to show such kind of the side effects in the study population (there was no difference in cases and controls). Hence, this medication is considered safe in lactating women. And the lady should continue breastfeeding as usual.On the top, she should take antibiotics only if there is an indication.

Hi,

Her NS1Ag is negative and IgM is positive, but platelets are normal. What happens in dengue is, patient becomes sick in association with falling of platelets. So in your case it's unlikely to go worsening until unless there is second hit by virus. For now you can monitor the patient and platelets, Take plenty of water, monitor platelets/vitals (HR, BP). Second option you can choose is get admitted and follow the advice. Admission is more important in this case, because she and fever. We need to find and treat the cause.

I will prefer admitting in case of persistent fever. I hope you got the answer.

Hi,

Reports are normal. It could be sepsis or malaria.

Take care.
