Treated For Suspected Dengue, Platelet Count Dipped, Liver Enzyme Inflated, Severe Cough. Vomiting After Having Cepodem. Medicine Reaction?
my wife undergone treatment for suspected dengue, platelet count dipped upto 0000 and subsequently improving on higher side. Patient was admitted. Her liver enzyme inflated and she being diabetic bg level shot up. fever persisted. Had severe dry cough throughout night when lying down only and sleepless night. Dr.administered sleeping dose and she was alright. On the day of discharge she had no fever and less cough. Cefozyt cv 325, pantodac dsr, ursocol300mg,becosules along with inj.mixtard 30ml - 0 - 15 ml was prescribed. cefozyt was not available and Dr.gave alternate tab as cepodem 325 mg. She had vomiting episode soon after taking cepodem. Whether it is a reaction to the medicine or because of problem in the food.
