Patient's question:
Baby was three and a half months old and had a fever, which got better after coughing and sneezing. They took medicine, but it had no effect. When they had a fever, they took fever-reducing medicine and a little blood was released. They took some medicine, and the next day they no longer had a fever. However, after getting better, they kept coughing and sneezing. They went to the children's hospital and saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who prescribed some medicine. On the first day, it had some effect, but on the second day, they started coughing again. Now the medicine is almost finished, but they are still coughing and sneezing. What is going on? Please give some advice. Can the vaccination be (repeated)? How should the baby's cough and sneezing be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it seems to be acute bronchitis or bronchopneumonia that has caused the cough symptoms. It is necessary to actively treat it. The baby's vaccinations can be postponed, and this will not affect the baby's immunity to the disease. It is recommended that you actively follow up with the pediatric department for an examination and perform necessary tests such as chest X-rays and blood tests to confirm the diagnosis. Currently, oral antibiotics such as cefixime granules, as well as drugs like diphenhydramine and albuterol, can be taken for initial treatment. After the diagnosis is confirmed, specific solutions can be chosen. Wishing you good health.
