Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:I have been taking Amoxicillin granules for about ten days to treat an ear canal fistula infection. It hasn't healed completely yet. Should I continue taking the medicine?
Am I worried that taking it for such a long time might have adverse effects on the child?
Past Treatment and Effectiveness:
This is the first time I've had this condition. Over the past two days, I've had a slight cold, but it's not severe. I went to the hospital for a lung check-up, and the doctor said everything was fine. They took a blood test and found some virus infection, but said it wasn't serious. They gave me some medicine to help clear mucus and cough.
Help Needed:
Is it necessary to take so many medications? I am very worried about it affecting the child's growth and development.
Doctor's answer:
The child is three months old and has been taking amoxicillin for about ten days. It can be stopped now. Wait three days before resuming medication. In severe cases, intravenous treatment can be administered. Antibiotics should not be taken for a long time. For viral infections, antiviral medications can be used, such as ribavirin or Pudilan Xiaoyan Koufuye.The above advice is for the question, "Have been taking amoxicillin granules for about ten days to treat preauricular fistula infection—should it continue?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
