Patient's question:
Cough is worse than during the day. At the beginning of the week, it was just coughing at night with some runny nose. After taking Hao Dawai cold medicine and Shuanghuanglian Snake Gland, it was said that there was ear pain, so Cefalexin was taken. After 5 days, coughing has also started during the day. What should I do now? Currently taking Shuanghuanglian, Compound Fresh Bamboo Shoot Mixture, and Cefalexin...Doctor's answer:
The child's condition you mentioned is considered to be bronchitis caused by a fever.Recommendation: It is best to take the child to the pediatric department of the hospital for an X-ray examination. If the thorough examination reveals that the inflammation is the cause of the illness, it is recommended to give the child intravenous fluids for treatment, which would be beneficial for the condition. During the treatment period, it is also beneficial to have the child drink plenty of water.
