Patient's question:
Cough, fever, deep cough sound, hoarse voice at the end, and severe throat pain when coughing. The first time I had a fever, it might have been as high as 39.4 degrees while taking a nap. I was taken to the children's hospital, where I received medication. After taking the medicine, the fever remained high on the third day. The fever persisted on the third day. After taking the medicine, the fever subsided. On the fifth day, it was 38.5 degrees again last night in the middle of the night. Later, I used fever-reducing patches to bring it down, but the cough and throat pain were still severe. Coughing at night, weak limbs, in the morning, I drank Compound Aminophen Methylprednisolone Cough Syrup and Sunflower Children's Aminophen Yellow Ganmin Granules. Can they be taken together? The tongue coating is very thick and white.Doctor's answer:
This symptom is likely caused by a viral cold or similar conditions. The main treatment is symptomatic relief. Pay attention to solving the issue. For fever, use lukewarm water or alcohol for physical cooling. When the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can take fever-reducing medication. For cough, you can use lung-cleaning syrup. If there is phlegm, you can take ambroxol. Take antiviral combinations as needed for symptomatic relief.The two medications you mentioned can be taken together, but it is not recommended to give ambroxol-APAP-codeine to a 5-year-old child.
