Patient's question:
The baby started fevering the next morning after getting the vaccination in the afternoon on the same day. After applying a fever reducer patch, the fever subsided on the third day, and a runny nose and cough began on the fourth day. What medicine to take and what kind of help is desired: The baby has been taking Xiao'er An Fen Huang Nanning Granules for a day, but there is no improvement. Should some anti-inflammatory medicine be taken, such as Cephalexin?Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby's upper respiratory infection is caused by a decrease in the body's resistance after vaccination, leading to bacterial invasion. The clinical manifestations include fever, runny nose, coughing, and phlegm. I recommend giving your baby oral roxithromycin and antiviral oral liquid, drinking plenty of warm water, taking Hao Wang Hao Gan Granules and Xiao'er Qing Fei Qing Fei Tablets, eating light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold, hard, and spicy foods, eating more pears or drinking pear water cooked with rock sugar, as pears have the effects of moistening the lungs and clearing phlegm. Pay attention to preventing cold and avoiding catching a cold to alleviate the symptoms of the cold.
