Patient's question:
The child has been coughing for many days, and even after receiving intravenous drips, it hasn't improved. What should I do now? I haven't let him receive any more drips because I'm afraid it will be harmful to the child. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Considering your condition, the recurring symptoms are likely due to incomplete treatment of the cold. It is recommended to try oral antiviral medications and cold. Even with viral colds, secondary bacterial infections can easily occur, so it is best to take antibiotics orally as well. If oral medications are ineffective, it is advisable to undergo intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. Since intravenous medications have higher blood concentrations and take effect faster, it is best to seek specific medical diagnosis at a regular hospital.
