Patient's question:
Fevered for over 10 days without seeking medical attention. Now it's just phlegm in the throat. Normally I never cough, but as soon as I eat, I cough very badly. Once, while drinking milk, I coughed so hard that milk came out of my nose. There was only a small amount. No high fever, so I didn't go to the hospital. They said it might be eczema-induced.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took eczema medication.
What kind of assistance is needed: How should this be treated? What is the illness? Is the cough caused by the fever?
Doctor's answer:
It might be related to eczema, because it reappeared after a fever, and there's phlegm, which is most likely a secondary bacterial infection. For your baby's condition, I recommend going to the hospital for a complete blood count to confirm the diagnosis. I suggest taking Shuquanling Granules, Qingkailing Granules, and Erythromycin Granules for treatment, as they are effective. Drinking plenty of water is key for lifestyle care: I recommend resting and enhancing nutrition. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
