Dear Mbak Selvi, Saya yakin antibiotik yg diberikan oleh dr : Cefat (bukan Cafet). Cefat (golongan cephalosporin) ini termasuk jenis anitbiotik Broad Spectrum. Artinya membunuh semua jenis bakteri didalam tubuh. Ini berarti juga bakteri-bakteri baik yg banyak didalam tubuh kita & sangat bermanfaat buat kita ikut dibunuh. Ibaratnya, antibiotik jenis ini spt BOM nuklir. Disarankan utk menghindari jenis antibiotik ini. Detail lain dari side effectnya cefspan ini saya drop di artikel Mayo dibawah ini. Duh serem deh kalo dibaca efek sampingnya. Mulai dari hipersensitivitas sampe dg pendarahan pada saluran cerna.
Saya suggest sih utk stop aja obat ini. PErcayalah bahwa batuk pilek penyebabnya virus yg notabene gak bisa dibunuh dg antibiotik. Pemberian ab justru akan mematikan bakteri2 baik dalam tubuh. Dan WHO ataupun CDC ataupun AAP sendiri sudah mengeluarkan statement bahwa antibiotik sama sekali TIDAK dapat digunakan utk batuk pilek. Saya posting ya artikelnya. Oya puyernya sisi apa aja kalo boleh tau. Luluk ---------------- CEFAT GENERIK Sefadroksil monohidrat.

They work by killing bacteria or preventing their growth. Cephalosporins are used to treat infections in many different parts of the body. They are sometimes given with other antibiotics. Some cephalosporins given by injection are also used to prevent infections before, during, and after surgery. However, cephalosporins will not work for colds, flu, or other virus infections. Other medical problems The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of cephalosporins. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially: a. Bleeding problems, history of (cefamandole, cefditoren, cefoperazone, and cefotetan only)-These medicines may increase the chance of bleeding b. Carnitine, low levels-Cefditoren may cause carnitine levels to decrease further. c. Kidney disease-Some cephalosporins need to be given at a lower dose to people with kidney disease. Also, cephalothin, and cefuroxime especially, may increase the chance of kidney damage d. Liver disease (cefoprazone and cefuroxime)-Cefoperazone needs to be given at a lower dose to people with liver disease. Condition may be worsened by cefuroxime use. e. Phenylketonuria-Cefprozil oral suspension contains phenylalanine f. Poor nutritional status-these may be worsened by cefuroxime and you may need to have vitamin K Stomach or gastrointestinal disease, history of (especially colitis, including colitis caused by antibiotics, or enteritis)-Cephalosporins may cause colitis in some patients -------------------------- ANTIBIOTICS DON’T WORK ON COLDS OR MOST COUGHS AND SORE THROATS SAYS CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER http://www.nics.gov.uk/press/hss/040119a-hss.htm Antibiotics should not be taken for colds, most coughs and sore throats. This is the key message in a publicity campaign launched by the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety. The aim of the campaign, which features a cartoon capsule character called Andy Biotic, is to try to reduce the inappropriate use of antibiotics. The campaign will include radio adverts, leaflet inserts in newspapers, advertising in shopping centres and at bus stops; leaflets will also be available in GP surgeries, pharmacies and other public outlets. Stressing the importance of the campaign, Chief Medical Officer, Dr Henrietta Campbell, said: "This campaign carries a very important message. If we do not limit the prescribing of antibiotics for minor complaints, they will eventually lose their effectiveness against many illnesses. "Bacteria are very clever and can adapt to become resistant to antibiotics. This means that antibiotics are becoming less effective at fighting many infections. This is already beginning to happen and is of particular concern to many health professionals who are working to reduce the level of infection in our hospitals and residential homes. Vulnerable patients may need antibiotics more than most to fight infections which is why the fewer antibiotics taken earlier in life holds patients in good stead. "The objective of this campaign is to make patients aware that most coughs, sore throats and colds do not need antibiotic treatment, but can be managed with simple remedies while they run their natural course. This can be up to a week for sore throats and longer for colds and chesty coughs." Dr Campbell went on to say: "My message to patients is, antibiotics should not be taken for simple coughs, sore throats and colds. Do not expect your doctor to prescribe antibiotics for these minor complaints, which are usually viral ailments. NOTES TO EDITORS: This is the fourth time this campaign has been run; the first occasion being in the winter of 1999. It aims to support health professionals in their management of patients with acute upper respiratory tract infections or sore throats by reducing patients’ expectations for an antibiotic prescription from their GP. There has been a marked reduction in antibiotic prescribing in Northern Ireland over the last five years which indicates that the message is being driven home, both to health professionals and the public. Figures indicate that there are currently 15% fewer prescriptions being written for antibiotic drugs than there were in 1998. The actual numbers of such prescriptions have dropped by over 325,000 p.a. in that time. The campaign also encourages patients to seek advice from community pharmacists on safe and appropriate symptomatic relief. In addition the campaign explains that antibiotics will also kill the "good bacteria" that will help to keep us all healthy. ------------------------ www.cdc.gov Hidung "Meler" dan ingus berwarna hijau atau kuning) Anak anda mengalami hidung "meler. Ini lazim yang dialami selama "common cold" (batuk pilek ringan) dan akan berhenti dengan sendirinya. Berikut fakta seputar batuk pilek ringan & hidung meler. Apakah penyebab hidung meler ? Ketika kuman penyebab colds (virus) menginfeksi hidung dan sinus, hidung akan memproduksi lendir. Lendir ini membersihkan hidung & sinus dari kuman tsb. Setelah 2 atau 3 hari, sel-sel imun tubuh akan membunuh kuman tsb, mengubahnya menjadi lendir berwarna putih atau kuning. Di dalam hidung terdapat bakteri baik. Ia juga ada di dalam lendir. Bakteri ini akan mengubah lendir menjadi berwarna kehijauan. Kondisi ini normal & bukan berarti anak butuh antibiotik. Apa yang harus dilakukan ? ? Perawatan terbaik adalah menunggu & perhatikan kondisi anak. Gangguan hidung, batuk dan gejala lainnya seperti demam, pusing, ngilu pada sendi, semua itu terasa mengganggu. Namun demikian antibiotik TIDAK akan membuatnya lebih cepat sembuh. ? Penggunaan vaporizer (penguapan) atau garam nasal drop membantu anak lebih nyaman saltwater nose drops makes their child feel better. Perlukah antibiotik untuk hidung meler ? Antibiotik dibutuhkan jika dokter mendiagnosis anak terkena sinusitis. Dokter biasanya meresepkan obat atau memberikan tips bagaimana menolong anak dengan gejala "colds" seperti demam dan batuk, tetapi antibiotik TIDAK dibutuhkan untuk mengobati hidung meler. Bagaimana jika antibiotik tetap diberikan ? Minum antibiotik saat tidak dibutuhkan adalah BERBAHAYA. Tiap kali kita meminum antibiotik (AB), maka kuman-kuman di hidung & tenggorokan beresiko menjadi resisten. Kuman yang resisten tidak dapat dibunuh oleh antibiotik manapun. Akibatnya jika anak butuh AB, ia butuh AB jenis kuat dan harus dimasukkan lewat jarum suntik. Atau butuh rawat inap di karena hal ini. Karena hidung meler akan akan sembuh dengan sendirinya, maka sebaiknya jangan minum AB dan gunakan hanya saat dibutuhkan.
