Patient's question:
Got a fever when starting kindergarten. Initially, he got an injection and took many medications, which improved, but after a few days of kindergarten, he started sneezing and coughing again! I got some traditional Chinese medicine from a pharmacy for him. Is it okay for him to take so many medications now and then add traditional Chinese medicine? Will the traditional Chinese medicine harm the child?Previous Treatment and Effect: Received azithromycin, a fever-reducing and lung-clearing medication, and cefodizime. Currently taking ceftiofur and magne-gan granules. Now taking traditional Chinese medicine for lung clearing, fever reduction, and detoxification.
Type of Assistance Needed: I just want to know if it's okay for a 29-month-old child to take traditional Chinese medicine! Even if it's not suitable, won't it at least not harm the child?
Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:29 months old children can take traditional Chinese medicine without any problem. It is better than frequently using antibiotics for children. As long as the medication prescription is correct, there will definitely be no side effects. You can rest assured.
Medical advice: Suddenly entering a complex environment like a kindergarten can cause certain psychological stress for the child, which interferes with their immunity. Moreover, group life is unlikely to be as well-cared-for as at home. If one child gets infected, it's very easy for them to spread the infection to other children during the incubation period. Make sure the child is in a good mood and enhance physical exercise. This will improve the child's immunity, allowing them to either not get sick when infected or recover quickly on their own.
