Hello,
I am sorry your daughter is ill. With the symptoms you listed-
cough and fever- it is likely that she has a viral respiratory illness. There are more viruses than bacteria that cause respiratory infections. How high is her fever? Is her appetite normal? Does she have her usual level of activity? The severity of a viral respiratory illness is usually less that for a bacterial respiratory illness.
Zifi is a brand name for the antibiotic called
Cefixime. While this is a good antibiotic to treat various bacterial infections, it does not treat viral infections. In fact, no antibiotic does.Plus, Zifi, like all drugs, has side effects.
Some of its side effects are:
- headache
-loss of appetite
-bloody or watery stool
-dizziness
-itchy rash
-swelling of face, lips, tongue
So for the symptoms you provided, this medicine most probably will not be effective and it could cause side effects. Based on the information given, I feel it is not a good idea to give her this medicine.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
