I am concerned that this could be detrimental as it was self administered & not on profressional advice ... we will go to a Doctor if her condition has not improved within the next 24 hours ..... should she stop taking this antibiotic ?
Brief Answer:
Can continue with Cifran...
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query. Do not worry! with appropriate treatment she will be alright.
She can continue using Cifran 500mg. Along with that, she will require a mucolytic such as bromhexine or ambroxol (to remove the clogged secretions in the sinuses), saline nasal spray and a OTC pain reliever.
Also, she should do steam inhalation 3-4 times a day for atleast 2 minutes, drink plenty of warm water and avoid chilled food & beverages/coffee/smoking (if any).
With the above measures she will be definitely better. If she is not getting better within 3-4 days, consult your doctor for a complete evaluation and management.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available for the follow-up queries.
