Patient's question:
The child is four years old. Five days ago, they had a fever of 38 degrees Celsius, with slightly elevated white blood cells in the blood test, but other indicators were normal. On the third day, the fever subsided, but the cough became very severe. A chest X-ray revealed bronchitis. They have been taking traditional Chinese medicine. Now, the cough is not very severe during the day, but it is very severe during naps at night. Should they focus on taking traditional Chinese medicine or switch to medication? How long will it take to recover?Doctor's answer:
I am very willing to help you solve your worries and answer your questions. According to your description, the 4-year-old child has a fever of 38 degrees, and the chest X-ray suggests bronchitis. Currently, there is still coughing, which improves at night. A complete recovery from the recurrence of the disease always takes time. According to your description, medication has already been used, so there is no need to take more medication. It is recommended that you take good care of the child at home, drink more water, rest more, and prevent colds and keep warm. Ventilate and aerate the room, keep it clean and hygienic. Eat a light diet, avoid spicy and fried foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Take Feilike Heji orally when necessary.
