Patient's question:
Child is 50 days old, breastfeeding, experiencing throat pain when drinking water, swallowing saliva, and irritation. A few days ago, the pain eased after drinking water. Yesterday, they took Snake Gland and Fritillaria Fluid and Acetylsalicylic Acid. On the fifth day today, the pain has worsened when drinking water, and there is coughing.Doctor's answer:
Based on the described situation, it is suspected that the symptoms may be caused by an upper respiratory infection. Since it is a breastfeeding period, medication should not be used indiscriminately. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for screening and tests, including a complete blood count, and then receive intravenous fluids. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoiding getting chilled in your daily life. Ensure adequate deep sleep. It is advised to have blood tests done at the hospital for examination. Based on the results, symptomatic anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment should be administered. If the inflammation is severe, breastfeeding should be stopped, and isolation from the child is necessary to prevent cross-infection.
