Patient's question:
Baby 11 has a cold. The highest fever reached 37.3 degrees, with a runny nose, hiccups. Later, some Nalpen was given, and after taking it for two days, the symptoms reduced, so the medication was stopped. There's just a bit of clear nasal discharge now, but in the last two days, yellow nasal discharge has started again. What's going on? Can the medication be skipped? Can carrots and pears be boiled together for water?Doctor's answer:
The baby had a high fever and runny nose on October 11th. The hiccups indicated a viral infection. Later, the appearance of yellow nasal discharge confirmed a secondary bacterial infection of the second-level neurons. At this stage, not taking medication or suppressing the condition's progression could lead to severe complications such as bronchopneumonia or heart failure.Recommendation: It is advisable to take anti-inflammatory medications such as Amoxicillin granules, Cefaclor granules, or Cefixime granules. Additionally, taking heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine formulations like Xiao'er Qingfei granules can be beneficial. Boiling carrots and pears together is also acceptable, as it can help moisten the lungs and expel phlegm.
