Patient's question:
The baby had a fever in the afternoon on the 9th. Medication was administered, and the fever has stabilized, with the condition improving. By the third day, the baby has already started coughing. Today, the coughing has increased slightly. Previously, they were given Cefixime. Last night, they started taking Erythromycin Granules, but for some reason, they coughed and vomited a bit during the night. This morning, I gave them Erythromycin, and just now, after taking cough syrup, they coughed a few more times and vomited some thick, sticky substance. What is going on? Should they still take the flu medication and focus?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you solve your doubts. If the baby has type A or B influenza, taking medication is quite effective. After a cold, cough symptoms are common, and you can take lung-cleansing medicine. Generally, it takes three days of taking anti-inflammatory drugs before you can carefully observe their effectiveness. It is recommended to give the baby plenty of warm water and a diet that is easy to digest, focusing on fighting the flu and using cough medicine for treatment. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby has a fever and cough?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
