Patient's question:
My baby is ten months old and has a cough with phlegm. The blood test results show a high count of 16,000. She has been using a nebulizer for four days and has been taking medicine prescribed by the hospital in the morning and afternoon for three days. She coughs more in the morning and occasionally during the day. Currently, she is in good spirits. I am worried that taking too much medicine might be harmful to her health. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If you have been taking medication for three days, it is recommended to go back to the hospital for a follow-up check on your blood tests. If your blood test results have returned to normal, you can temporarily stop taking the medication. Generally, if you take the medication as prescribed, it will not have too significant side effects on the baby. Pay attention to drinking more water, avoid getting cold, do not eat spicy or irritating foods, try to reduce going out, and do not buy or take antibiotics on your own.
