Patient's question:
On January 11, coughed lightly. On the third day, had a runny nose and phlegm in the throat. Took Xiao'er Ganmao Granules.On January 13 evening, felt the cough was a bit worse with phlegm.
On January 14 afternoon, went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, received an IV drip, and the doctor administered roxithromycin and vitamin K1.
On January 15, I suggested not giving the baby an IV drip myself. The doctor prescribed medication for the baby. In the afternoon, the baby was very lively and didn’t take a nap. He slept at 11:00 PM.
On January 16, the baby woke up early at 9:00 AM with a slight cough, three times in total. During medication, he coughed four times and coughed up a mouthful of phlegm. The baby was in great spirits and would laugh when played with. His eyes moved here and there. Is it okay for him to focus on drinking the medicine in this state? Or does he have to take the medicine to get better?
Doctor's answer:
I am your attending physician, and I will answer your questions for you. After reviewing your test results, it appears that your child's cough is caused by an upper respiratory infection. The child is primarily suffering from a viral infection. On the basis of the current oral medications, it is recommended to add antiviral granules or Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Antiviral Oral Liquid. This is the advice for the question "What should I do if my child has a runny nose, cough, and phlegm?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
