Group A (Cephalosporin)
During the period of hospitalization, intake of active drug ('pacetin', 2nd generation cephalosporin). 3 g per day divided into 3 times via intravenous route until the day of discharge. After discharge, oral intakes of 500mg each (1 pill of cefaclor, the 2nd generation cephalosporin every 12 hrs) for three days. Cephalosporin: During the hospitalization, intake of pacetin, 2nd generation cephalosporin. 3 g per day divided into 3 times via intravenous route until the day of discharge. After discharge, oral intakes of 500mg each (1 pill of cefaclor, the 2nd generation cephalosporin every 12 hrs) for three days.
Group B (Placebo)
During the period of hospitalization, Intake of placebo (normal saline). 30cc per day divided into 3 times via intravenous route until the day of discharge. After discharge, oral intakes of 1000mg each (2 pill of vitamin C every 12 hrs) for three days. Placebo: During the period of hospitalization, Intake of placebo (normal saline). 30cc per day divided into 3 times via intravenous route until the day of discharge. After discharge, oral intakes of 1000mg each (2 pill of vitamin C every 12 hrs) for three days.
