Hi,
Thanks for Query,
The possible side effect of ceftum is kidney function problem.As your mother has S.creatinine 5.4 you should stop giving it & change other non nephrotoxic medicine.
Her feeling of vomiting is also one of side effect of ceftum.
looking to her continues fever since long she needs blood culture sensitivity test this will help to decide choice of antibiotics.
Thanks.
