Patient's question:
I've been having diarrhea while taking medicine. He's breastfed, so I listened to the doctor's advice and avoided fruits, carrots, tomatoes, and everything. But he still kept coughing. Now, besides the sounds of phlegm being less noticeable, I don't feel any lighter than before. Besides a runny nose, what kind of help do you need: I'm really at my wit's end. I've been to the children's hospital four times in half a month, but the cough hasn't subsided. Now, I just want to get him better quickly. He's been coughing for so long=Doctor's answer:
Your description is a bit disorganized, but I mostly understood it. You're saying the baby has been coughing consistently, and it's still coughing now, but they don't have a high fever, right. There are many possible causes of coughing, so it would be better to investigate the general cause first. How are the baby's complete blood count results, chest X-ray results, and the antibody results for Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia? How are the ESR results, excluding the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein? All of this information is needed to determine the exact cause before prescribing specific medication. The type of antibiotic should be decided based on these results—it cannot be used indiscriminately. You will still need to give consent for blood tests on the baby. For traditional Chinese medicine, you can use Feilike Capsules to clear the lungs, or drink some Pudi Lan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid for symptomatic treatment.
