Before an infusion in the hospital, the doctor will ask about the patient's allergy history to medication. Two common drug allergies in our lives are cephalosporin and penicillin, so a skin test will be done before use.

After being allergic to cephalosporins, a rash will appear on the skin surface, accompanied by palpitations and numbness of the limbs. This article introduces the details of cephalexin allergy.

1. What are the symptoms of cephalosporin allergy?

Symptoms of allergy to cephalosporins: rash, drug fever, urticaria, palpitations, numbness of limbs and other allergic reactions.

If it is not treated with light, it can be treated with appropriate antihistamines and adrenocortical hormones. In addition, anaphylactic shock is a rare clinical entity that can lead to death even if not treated; 1 and 2 keep the airway open, oxygen, 3 epinephrine and a series of vasoactive drugs and symptomatic supportive treatment are used.

The above is a complete introduction to the symptoms of cephalosporin allergy. I believe that everyone will understand some of the symptoms of cephalosporin allergy after reading it. The editor here would like to remind everyone that if you take cephalosporins in your daily life and have allergic symptoms, you should see a doctor immediately, and don't delay the condition by delaying it!

What are the treatments for cephalosporin allergy?

1. Avoid using cephalosporin again. There may be no reaction when doing skin test after a period of time, but the duration of cephalosporin allergy is very short. In severe cases, the patient may go into shock and die directly, and there will be no time for rescue. Especially for those who have a history of allergies, this should be avoided. Some hospitals do not do skin tests or use the medicine directly without asking about the allergy history in a simple skin test. I hope you don’t do this and can use drugs with the same effect instead.

2. Cephalosporin is a common antibiotic that can fight various bacterial infections and has good anti-infection efficacy. However, some people with allergic constitutions are prone to be allergic to cephalosporins. After taking ceftriaxone, you may feel uncomfortable, such as nausea, headache, rash, and loss of appetite. It is also best to pay more attention to whether you are allergic. Once an allergy is discovered, you must stop taking the medicine in time. And don't take ceftriaxone again in the future. You need to apply cold water to your face, and do not use alkaline soap to wash your skin when it is itchy. Avoid spicy foods and eat more cool fruits and vegetables.

3. Specific treatment methods: For mild cases, only a rash may appear. For severe cases, anaphylactic shock may occur, which is life-threatening. For mild allergies, oral anti-allergic drugs such as Claritin or Chlorpheniramine are usually sufficient. For severe anaphylactic shock, the medication is very complicated and the drugs used include epinephrine, glucocorticoids, anti-allergic drugs, vasoactive drugs and many other drugs.

If a relative is allergic to cephalexin, if he is in the hospital, you should immediately call the doctor and nurse to ask them to stop the patient's medication and make the correct treatment method. If someone in the family is allergic to cephalexin, the medication should be stopped immediately for mild cases, and the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment for severe cases. The condition should not be delayed. I hope my advice is helpful to you and I wish you good health.
