Babies take azithromycin for a maximum of a few days

The antimicrobial spectrum of azithromycin is basically the same as that of other macrolides, it has higher distribution, solubilization, longer half-life, wider cell permeability, tissue concentration can also be 300 times higher than the extracellular concentration, and the rate of elimination is relatively slow, and the general half-life is about 68-72 hours.Therefore, insisting on administering the drug once a day, generally taking the method for 3 consecutive days, can maintain the effective concentration for about 8-10 days, which is very convenient for us to use medicine. If it is an ordinary infection, under normal circumstances, eating it for about 3 days can maintain the effective concentration for about 1 week. However, azithromycin is the preferred drug for mycoplasma infection, mainly to take 2-3 courses of treatment, in this case, consolidate 1 course of treatment, take it for another 3 days, and stop for 4 days. The biggest advantage of azithromycin is that there is generally no skin test, that is, allergic reactions rarely occur, and the biggest side effect is gastrointestinal reactions, which may cause some rashes or nausea, vomiting and other reactions. If the baby has nausea, vomiting, etc., and the vomiting and other reactions are more obvious, you can take Smecta orally before the baby takes the medicine, which can reduce the gastrointestinal reaction. There is also one biggest advantage, it is more convenient for the baby to take medicine, and it is 1 time a day, which is acceptable to many fathers and mothers.
