What should I do if a child with pneumonia after discharge catches a cold?

Patient's question:

My baby is 9 months old and was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. He just got discharged yesterday and felt a bit cold on the way home. Last night, he started coughing again. The doctor prescribed Fervitin and traditional Chinese medicine. Besides the immune-boosting medication, should I add any other anti-inflammatory drugs?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
According to your purchase history, as the baby is recovering from pneumonia, their immunity is relatively weak. It is essential to pay close attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold exposure. You can first take Folvad Oral Liquid and medication to reduce immunity. Wait and see how the situation develops. If the cough worsens, you can then take anti-inflammatory medication. Take good care of the baby, avoid crowded places, and if family members have a cold, they should stay away from the baby. Open windows frequently for ventilation indoors.
