Patient's question:
Doctor, the baby has been coughing for over two weeks. Last week, the doctor said it was contagious and prescribed Compound Furacilin Oral Solution and Cefixime Granules for Suspension, a 3-day supply. But the baby's cough hasn't improved. The oral solution is quite bitter, so when I went to the hospital to pick up the baby's trace element test report, I asked the doctor again. The doctor suggested I focus on giving the oral solution to see if it works. Since then, the baby hasn't taken the medicine on time, and the cough hasn't gone away.What kind of assistance is needed: I want to ask the online doctor, if the baby takes too much of one medicine, will bacteria develop resistance? Can a 6-month-old baby drink Pan Guoshou's Pipa Syrup? If so, how many times a day and what is the dosage?
Doctor's answer:
Baby suggests using dietary therapy to treat cough:Medicine: Plenty of egg yolks.
Usage: Put cooked egg yolks in an iron pot, simmer over low heat to extract oil, and drink. For those under 5 years old, 3 egg yolks, 2 times a day; for those over 5, adjust the amount as needed. Taking it for half a month will heal. This method is convenient in material selection and has a good effect, often showing results within 3 days or self-recovery.
Method: Take 6 cloves of garlic, peel them, crush with a knife, and put them in a bowl with 10 grams of sugar and 50 grams of water. Steam it in a pot and take it before going to bed every night, alternating for 3 days.
For the initial stage of cough: Garlic and sugar drink: 15 grams of garlic and 30 grams of sugar. Mash the garlic, add sugar to a cup, and pour boiling water to fill it. Soak for 5 hours, take 1 dose a day, divided into 3 servings, and continue for 4–5 days.
