Should I also give the antibiotic Ziprax (100mg) to my 11-year-old daughter, who weighs 42 kg and has a 101?F fever, nausea, and diarrhea, if I have already given her Crocin DS, Vizylac syrup, and Ondem syrup today?
Please hold off on giving the antibiotic Ziprax (cefixime) for now. Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections, and many stomach bugs are viral. Since you have already given Crocin DS (paracetamol) for her fever, Ondem (ondansetron) for nausea, and Vizylac (probiotics) for diarrhea, you are managing her symptoms well. Focus on keeping her hydrated with oral rehydration solutions. Please consult her pediatrician before starting Ziprax so they can properly diagnose her and ensure the correct dose for her weight.
