Patient's question:
Son is three years old. He has had a fever recently and it hasn't fully gone away. Now he has started coughing again, and the symptoms have lasted for 3 days. The cough isn't very severe, but it feels like there is phlegm. It is said that the cough was caused by a bacterial infection. There were high fever symptoms, but they were all high fevers, at 37.4 degrees, and then they returned to normal on the third day.What kind of assistance is needed: What are the causes of bacterial infection in children? How to deal with cough caused by it?
Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the baby's condition may be caused by a bacterial infection or mycoplasma infection. It is necessary for the hospital to conduct further tests such as blood routine, CRP, procalcitonin, and mycoplasma antibody tests to confirm the diagnosis. Then, the medication should be adjusted based on the test results. For cough, you can take E or ambroxol oral solution to liquefy mucus and relieve cough. You can also take traditional Chinese medicine such as Xiao'er Qingfei Qingfei or Xiao'er Feire Qianchuan oral liquid. At the same time, you can receive aerosol treatment.
