Patient's question:
The baby has a severe cough with phlegm, taking Azithromycin and Cefixime. After three days of medication, the cough persists. She had previously taken Cefixime for three days, totaling six days of coughing. She had a fever for the first two days but now has a cough and shortness of breath without fever. I am taking medication and waiting to see, but the doctor suggested I might need an intravenous drip. I am very worried about this because she is so young.Doctor's answer:
According to your information, you have been taking medication for six days, and combining two antibiotics has not shown significant relief. It is recommended that you visit the hospital to have a chest X-ray for a thorough examination, check your blood routine, and adjust the medication promptly based on the results. The effect will be better when combined with inhalation therapy.The above advice is for the question "Baby has severe cough with phlegm, taking Azithromycin and Cefalexin." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
