Patient's question:
I have a cold with a runny nose and cough. I have taken Cold and Detoxifying Granules for five days, three times a day, one packet each time; Cefadroxil 0.125g, three times a day, one packet each time, combined with Children's White Pearl Cough Syrup, three times a day, 20ml each time; and E for three days, once a day, 5ml each time. This has been going on for a week now. Now, I occasionally cough with phlegm, have slightly yellow nasal discharge, and nasal congestion. The child weighs 16kg, and I am worried that long-term use of anti-inflammatory medication is not good for the child. Can the medication be stopped now? Will it recur?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the above symptoms include cough, phlegm, slightly yellow nasal discharge, and nasal congestion. Considering these symptoms, it is likely that the condition is a wind-heat cold. You can give them some Yinqiao Detoxifying Powder and Bromhexine Hydrochloride Oral Solution. Also, consider stopping the anti-inflammatory medication for a while. During this period, it is important to drink plenty of water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. The room should be kept well-ventilated at all times. We also wish the baby a speedy recovery.
