My daughter is 7 years old and she had a viral infection that lasted long. We did not give her any medications and the situation got complicated with throat pain, coughing… When we went to a doctor he said that the status became worse because of the addition of bacterial infection. He prescribed her with CEPHALEXIN and I would just like to know something more about this medication.
Cephalexin belongs to a group of cephalosporin antibiotics. Its area of effects is very wide; it can affect a lot of bacteria. It is usually prescribed for bacterial infections of upper respiratory infections, middle ear infections. This medication should help your daughter and prevent the possibility of further complications (lung problems, for example).
