Patient's question:
The baby has been prone to colds and a rattling cough throughout the winter. Recently, it has worsened, with occasional heavy breathing while exhaling, but no fever or runny nose! What medicine should I give the baby?Past treatment and effectiveness: The baby was given intravenous fluids for 3 days, which improved the condition, but it has worsened again!
What kind of help do you need: Thank you, doctor, for your quick response—how should I treat this?
Doctor's answer:
This is likely a series of symptoms caused by an infection and inflammation of the tonsils. It is recommended to take oral cefpodoxime granules, Huo Ji Ling capsules, carbocisteine tablets, and pediatric expectorant and antitussive oral liquid together. Chinese herbal medicine treatment can also be very effective. It is suggested to use Compound Loquat Paste and Fresh Bamboo Juice for treatment. Rest as much as possible to alleviate the condition, keep the body warm to prevent further colds, drink plenty of water to replenish the fluids lost from the body.
