Patient's question:
A child with a cough and phlegm has hoarseness. At 3 PM today, they took Azithromycin and measured their rectal temperature. After dinner, they consumed Chenbei Pipa Gao. During a nap in the evening, when they urinated, a little bit of feces came out. They urinated twice, and both times a little bit of feces came out along with the urine. It wasn't defecation, but rather defecation occurred while urinating. Which of these is related—was it caused by taking the medicine or by measuring the rectal temperature? Please help me understand and solve this issue.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby's recurrence of this condition is due to taking azithromycin. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic, and its main side effects are nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The baby's nausea and vomiting will recover on their own after stopping azithromycin, so there is no need to worry.The above advice is for the question "Child coughing with phlegm and hoarse voice." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
