Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
For How Long Should Cefuroxime And Ceftum 500 Be Taken?
my wife aerobic culture of Urine shows growth of Escherichia Coli after 48 hours of incubation at 37 degree celsius. culture and sensitivity test shows for taking Cefuroxime and taking Ceftum 500 from two weeks twice continuously but still fever. how long this medicine will be taken.
Cefuroxime belongs to a group of antibiotics called cephalosporins which are effective against bacteria which cause urinary infection. This antibiotic is usually prescribed for 10 to 14 days. If your wife is still having fever, she is not responding appropriately to the prescribed antibiotics. I suggest you get in touch with her treating doctor and get a prescription for a different antibiotic. I also suggest intake of at least 3-4 liters of water and keep the genital area clean. Thanks.
