Patient's question:
Just started having a cold, with a runny nose, sneezing, and a slight cough. Now it's mostly coughing, especially at night.Past treatment and effectiveness: Blood tests were done, and a lung X-ray was taken. It's now diagnosed as bronchitis. No injections were given.
Help needed: The cough is severe at night, and the child can't sleep well. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
The severe coughing is mainly due to inflammation in the urethra, caused by a Staphylococcus aureus infection. It is recommended to conduct a thorough examination to check for bronchitis. It is best to use cephalosporin antibiotics and Qingkailing intravenous fluids for treatment, which is quite effective. During the treatment period, pay close attention to ensuring the child drinks plenty of fluids and takes precautions against colds. This will help the child's condition improve. If the child's spirits are low, intravenous fluids can be administered in severe cases.
