Cefuroxime Axetil For Simple Collarbone Fracture????
(Newest replies first)

I am living in China so I always like to check things out ASAP when ever I have to see a doctor here. Anyhow my daughter, who is almost 18 months had a fall today and broke her collar bone. X-ray showed a nice clean break no problem so he recommended a brace which I expected but for some reason he also prescribed Cefureoxime Axetil 125mg. I of course just Googled this and I'm a bit surprised at him giving her an antibiotic. I don't speak Chinese but and my wife not knowing medical English just said it's supposed to help her blood. Considering the overuse and abuse of antibiotics in China and considering I have found no creditable reason for her to take it I am not giving it to her. I wanted to ask here does anyone know of a reason why this drug would be prescribed for a simple fracture?

TIA

REPORT

Antibiotics are sometimes given to help prevent infection from broken bones.

Ref: Antibiotic for Fractures Information

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Cefuroxime as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?

i believe they gave it to her like a "just in case" type of thing. just so nothing happens.
