Patient's question:
This morning, the baby's throat was a bit rattling. What should I do? Can I give him some cephalexin to reduce inflammation?Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered yet. It just started this morning.
What kind of help is desired: The baby's current rattling is not particularly severe. Can I give him some cephalexin?
Doctor's answer:
The baby came down in the morning with a hoarse throat, which is a bit of wheezing, and the other is a bit of phlegm. Both have some tracheal inflammation. If it's just a bit of phlegm, taking some anti-inflammatory and lung-cleansing phlegm-removing medicine, and drinking more water, can usually improve quickly. But if there's a bit of wheezing, it may worsen, and close attention needs to be paid. If it's not severe for now, oral anti-inflammatory medicine can be taken, and cephalexin is acceptable. If it gradually worsens, it's recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up and take some asthma-relieving medicine.
