Patient's question:
Baby has pericarditis, prenatal check-up shows the inflammation is not severe, percussion has no lung sounds, no sore throat, but coughs with phlegm, and the coughing lasts a long time. What kind of assistance is needed: What causes the cough with phlegm? Can I only take cough suppressant and expectorant medicine like Fudexid without antibiotics?...Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Harmful, lung percussion is not obvious. How long has the baby been coughing? How long has the antibiotic treatment lasted? Suggestions: It might be Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Initially, it starts as a light cough, then progresses to severe coughing with phlegm. Lung percussion is not obvious. Chest X-ray clearly shows significant changes in the lungs. Azithromycin treatment is effective. Coughing occurs because of inflammation in the lungs producing phlegm; coughing helps expel the phlegm. It is absolutely crucial and must not be treated with only cough suppressant and cooling blood drugs, which only treat symptoms, not the root cause. Care: Pay attention to the baby's mental state. If coughing is accompanied by obvious wheezing and the face turns purple, it is recommended to go to the hospital.
