What is Hucef-O taken for?
Patient: Hi, My baby(Girl) is 4 month old, she is suffering from cough. No running nose/maces. Pediatrician suggested for 3day nebulization and prescribed Asthakind-P(Drops) and Hucef-O(Dry Syrup). Is this the correct medicines for cough..? What is use of Hucef-O (Dry Syrup)..? Thank you in Advance..! Doctor: Hi....95% of times kids' cough and cold are viral in origin. They do not require antibiotics at all. Hucef is an antibiotic and contains Cefpodoxime. If the kid doesn't have fever more than 102F and iswell in bebetter fever episodes, then its viral.No need to use an antibiotic like Cefpodoxime.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
