What Experts Say

Cefixime works by weakening the bacterial cell wall, which stops the infection from spreading and lets the body clear it.

It is usually given once or twice daily by mouth, and the suspension form makes accurate dosing easier for children.

People with a penicillin allergy should tell their doctor first, since cross reactions with cephalosporins can occur.
