How to treat a 6-year-old child with a cold and cough that hasn't improved for a long time

Patient's question:

Last year, I had a cold and cough that wouldn't go away. I received intravenous drips and took medicine at the community hospital. The cold got better, but the cough didn't.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, consider bronchial infection or pneumonia. It is recommended to see a doctor for auscultation and X-ray to confirm the diagnosis, and imaging tests may be necessary if needed. For mild infections, anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken for treatment. For cough or phlegm, Fresh Bamboo Juice Oral Liquid or Children's Mahagan Granules can be used for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous infusion treatment is recommended. It is also necessary to be alert to mycoplasma infection. If mycoplasma infection is suspected, intravenous erythromycin injection or oral azithromycin granules should be used. Rest is important. If there is fever, antipyretic drugs should be used for symptomatic treatment.
