Hi thanks for contacting HCM.
You have a son who had upper respiratory infection last week and now another episode within a period of 1 week now with diarrhoea as well.You would like to know whether you can continue syp.TaximO ( cefixime ) now also.

A kid having second infection within one week has to be investigated.May be an allergy is behind.

Cefixime is an antibiotic which has more gram negative coverage.Since your child has both cough and diarrhoea may be u need to have broad spectrum antibiotic and anaerobic antibiotic with probiotic also.

Any medicine complete a course at least for 7 days.

Take care.
