Is Taxim Helpful For Treated Fractured Bone?

fractured bone up around 5 inches from ankle on left leg. Age 12Yrs., Wgt. 40Kg., Doctor put stitches on wound and Plaster splint from foot to thigh from lower side of leg from last 5 days. First advised Amikacin 375mg. twice a day (IV) and now recommend Taxim O CV 200 (1/2-1/2-1/2) - Is this okay or Taxim is not worthy in this case, as I found from Internet (not best suitable for his condition) - Got fever after 10hrs. around 100deg. F. Also taking Leyser Forte (BD) and Ibugesic plus 400mg. BD. Please advise

Hi,

Taxim O CV (Cefixime and Clavulanic Acid) is an antibiotic commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, but it is important to note that it is not effective against viral infections. In the case of a fractured bone, antibiotics are sometimes prescribed to prevent or treat any infections that may occur as a result of the injury. However, antibiotics are not typically used as the primary treatment for a fracture. The primary treatment for a fracture typically involves immobilization of the affected area (such as with a plaster splint or cast) to allow the bone to heal.

It is important to follow the advice of the treating doctor regarding the use of antibiotics, including Taxim O CV. If your child is experiencing fever, it is important to inform the treating doctor, as this may be a sign of an infection that requires further evaluation and treatment. In addition to antibiotics, your child is also taking Leyser Forte (which is a multivitamin) and Ibugesic plus 400mg (which contains ibuprofen and paracetamol). These medications may be prescribed to manage pain and inflammation associated with the fracture.

Again, it is important to follow the advice of the treating doctor regarding the use of these medications. Overall, it is best to discuss any concerns about the treatment plan with the treating doctor, as they are in the best position to advise on the appropriate course of action for your child's case.

If you require a personalized response, kindly use the Ask A Doctor service and post a follow-up. Take care. Hope I have answered your question.
