Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Cephaxin is cephalosporin group of antibiotic.
And these group of drugs can cause allergic reaction in susceptible individuals.
Possibility of allergic reaction to Cephaxin is more in your son's case.
So consult his treating doctor and discuss all these.
He may need another antibiotic, antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) drugs.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
