It is important to note that both cephalosporins and amoxiclav are types of antibiotics typically prescribed to treat bacterial infections, not viral infections like the common cold.
For symptoms such as a cold, fever, and dry cough, the likely cause is a virus, and antibiotics may not be effective in treating these symptoms. It is recommended to use over-the-counter remedies, get plenty of rest, and stay hydrated to help alleviate the symptoms.
If a bacterial infection is suspected after further evaluation by a healthcare provider, they will be able to determine the most appropriate antibiotic treatment based on the specific type of bacteria causing the infection.
