Can Viral Infection Be Treated With Cefixime?
Hi I am a female, 24 years old and 55 kg weight, I have been suffering from viral infection for almost a week now. I just had my blood & urine tests done. My blood report is normal meanwhile my urine tests show that I have 105.6 SGPT level and 10-12/ hpf in WBCs. The Doctor has prescribed me PCM and antibiotic - Cefixime. I have a doubt if antibiotic like cefixime will in viral infection as it has no anti viral property. Do help me....... Thank you

Hello,
It may be due viral infection.
Antibiotics tablet cefixime will not help to cure viral infection.
For fever you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Continue Saline or Betadine gargles twice a day.
Keep your self hydrated and take balanced diet
Hope I have answered your query and let me know if I can assist you further.
