Patient's question:
The child has a cough with phlegm and is having difficulty sleeping at night. Their throat is a bit hoarse, and they have a slight fever. Yesterday, they were given Cefixime and Ambroxol. Today, I want to give them some cold medicine. We have Compound Aminophen Methylphenidate Syrup at home. Can it be taken together with the current medication? (All of these were prescribed by the hospital during the last cold. This winter, it's the third time they've had a cold. The symptoms of the last two colds were quite similar—first cough, then fever. Why is that? How can we prevent this from happening in the future?)Doctor's answer:
The child now has a cough again and also has a fever. In this situation, it is recommended to have a re-examination of the chest X-ray and blood routine to see if other inflammatory conditions are present. Pay attention to symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to drinking more water, resting more, and if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, medication to reduce fever is necessary. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more vitamin C. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods, pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid catching colds. Strengthen exercise to improve physical fitness.
