Patient's question:
Two days ago, I had a runny nose, and by night, I started to have a fever. The doctor said it was bronchitis caused by a viral infection and prescribed fever-reducing granules, children's fever-reducing syrup, Feilike cough mixture, Cefixime, and fever-reducing suppositories. After taking the medicine for more than a day, the child felt the cough getting worse, and the temperature fluctuated. After taking the fever-reducing medicine, it felt a bit better, but after a short period, the fever returned.Doctor's answer:
I am very happy to serve you. The baby is 8 years old and has had a cough with fever for 2 days. After re-examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as bronchitis caused by a viral infection. Oral anti-infection, lung clearing, and fever-reducing drugs have been administered. The cough has not decreased. The effect of general bronchitis treatment is usually noticeable within 3 to 5 days. I suggest you focus on giving the baby the above medications, drink more water, enhance care, maintain a light and easily digestible diet, and take fever-reducing drugs if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees. However, it must be more than 4 hours before taking another dose. Physical cooling can also be used. If the condition does not improve, go to the hospital for a detailed check-up of myocardial enzymes to see if there is any myocardial damage.
