Is Cefpodoxime safe after liver issues post Amoxicillin?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Cefpodoxime and Amoxicillin being different classes of drugs, will not cause an allergy if the other one causes. Cefpodoxime is safe in patients with liver injury, at least in moderate doses. For the throat problem, I would advise in addition to antibiotics, some good symptomatic treatment. That would include anti-inflammatory medicines, painkillers, mouth rinses, and supportive measures. Dietary advice is to avoid cold foods and liquids, smoke, dust, masala, spicy and oily foods. Take plenty of warm liquids, soft diet, warm water, etc.

Take multivitamin tablets till your condition improves. Anti-inflammatory medicines are Chymoral forte (Trypsin Chymotrypsin) or Disperzyme (Rutoside, Bromelain, and Trypsin) tablets. Mouth rinses like Tantum gargles (Benzydamine) diluted in water will be helpful. Any associated nose or ear symptoms will require additional measures. Do you suffer from allergy? Take rest and avoid going outside for two days. Do write back to me in case you need any more advice.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

The doctors' medicines seem fine. However, I would add an anti-inflammatory such as Chymoral forte (Trypsin Chymotrypsin) and Tantum mouth rinses (Benzydamine). These two will hasten recovery. Other advice you follow. If you could take a picture of your open throat showing the posterior pharyngeal wall and send. It will be helpful in understanding the gravity of the problem. If the problem does not improve, we may have to do a culture swab of the throat and institute an appropriate antibiotic.

Do revert back for further support.

Hope you get well soon.

Thank you.
