Patient's question:
A one-year-old and ten-month-old baby has been coughing for a long time. They have visited the hospital many times and been prescribed various medications. Recently, they were given azithromycin granules, oseltamivir phosphate granules, and Feilike cough syrup. Over the past two days, the baby has been dry heaving after taking the azithromycin granules. This morning, they asked the doctor, and he still said to take it diligently. Is this a side effect of the medication? Should they stop taking it? The baby has no phlegm, no shortness of breath, just coughing, and occasionally has clear nasal discharge.Doctor's answer:
The condition of the baby is considered to be a respiratory infection. If the baby takes Azithromycin, it may cause gastrointestinal reactions. It can be taken for three days and then stopped for four days to see how the baby responds. Focus on taking the expectorant and cough-relieving medication. It is recommended that you take good care of the baby and focus on taking the expectorant and cough-relieving medication. Azithromycin can be taken after meals, or it can be taken for three days and then stopped for four days to wait and see how the baby responds.
