Patient's question:
Runny nose, stuffy nose, unable to sleep during naps at night, need to be held. It might be a cold caught outside in the past few days before bedtime.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Taken to a pediatrician, after percussion, it was said that the baby's lungs showed no signs of contagion, just a general fever. Prescribed: Ribavirin granules, pediatric paracetamol and chuanxindan tablets, epinephrine and diphenhydramine tablets, and pinellia root syrup. Two days' worth of medication was prescribed, to be taken three times a day. After taking the medication, there was a general sense of improvement, but it was felt that the baby disliked taking the pinellia root syrup very much. Moreover, after taking it, it gave us the impression that the cough became softer. It always feels like there is phlegm in the baby's throat, but she can't cough it out. At night, she often wakes up from naps feeling suffocated, which is very painful.
Hello, should we focus on medication or what should we do?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the baby's symptoms, the medication is still appropriate. It is recommended to focus on taking the medicine. It is suggested to use cooling blood medicine for treatment, such as fresh bamboo juice, while also giving anti-inflammatory medication like Cefixime.Advice: After drinking the Pinellia Glabra Syrup, the cough has become softer, which is not a concern. The taste of Pinellia Glabra Syrup is not very pleasant, and the baby may not like drinking it. Moreover, since there is phlegm and the baby cannot cough it out, it is recommended to focus on taking the syrup and then give the baby anti-inflammatory medication.
Lifestyle Care: Wishing for a speedy recovery.
