Better to avoid both the medicines. Cefixime is safe at 5 weeks. You can take 200 mg twice daily for 5 days. Take who ors and eat only rice based food for the next few days. For more information you can get in touch with me.

Zifi 200 (assuming you mean cefixime 200 mg) is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections. It's possible that your symptoms improved because of the antibiotic, but it's concerning that you still have some pain and redness. Since you've already seen a doctor and taken a course of antibiotics, it would be best to follow up with them to discuss your ongoing symptoms. They may need to perform additional tests or examinations to determine the cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. It's important not to delay seeking medical advice when experiencing persistent symptoms.

If possible, try to finish the course. Feed her ors with warm water. Cefixime is a bacteriocidal antibiotic that kills good bacteria as well. Loose motions will be relieved easily with enterogermina suspension 1-1 for 5 days. I hope she makes full recovery. Enterogermina has excellent safety profile for kids. All the best.

I was playing with a cricket ball when a street dog snatched it. I brought it back but later while playing I suffered a skin scratch. Later that night I started experiencing throat ache and since today noon I am experiencing fever and tiredness. I took cefixime and paracetamol 500 mg as precautionary measure as I am a chronic allergic rhinitis patient. Is it possible I am infected with rabies due to street dog saliva?

Carefully re enact the incidence again mentally. If you feel that 1. It was a street dog and no way you can watch it for 10 days for its normalcy. 2. The saliva smeared on cricket ball some how entered inside the open skin by giving entry to your blood. If answer to both questions is 'yes' or'can't say. There is chance of contamination of blood with rabies germs. Then it is safe to complete the 5 dose course of rabies vaccine. You may also personally discuss with your doctor. The symptoms you got afterwards are no wy important in taking the decision.
