Patient's question:
The baby has been coughing for over a week, but the medicine hasn't helped. It's a light cough, worse in the morning, with phlegm in the throat, but no high fever. The past two nights, the baby has had difficulty breathing when going to sleep. Patient: Female, born 73 days ago, coughing for a week.Treatment history and effectiveness: The baby was seen again at a hospital, took medicine for another five days, but there was no improvement.
What kind of help is desired: How long should the baby continue taking medicine to get better? Will taking too many anti-inflammatory drugs affect the baby's health?
Doctor's answer:
The current condition is considered to be bronchitis or bronchospasm-induced. Currently, attention should be paid to preventing colds, and treatments such as loratadine oral liquid, Zyrtec, and fresh bamboo juice can be used. It is best to go to the hospital for blood tests and chest X-rays to confirm the cause and receive treatment. The above is the advice for the question "Why hasn't my baby's cough improved after more than a week of medication?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
