Patient's question:
The boy is 18 months old. He had a cold six months ago. Three days ago, he started coughing, and the next day at noon, he began wheezing. He went to the hospital and received three IV drips in the morning and one IV drip at night. On the third day, they said it wasn't working and added more medication, giving him five IV drips. Today, they measured his heart rate and added more medication, giving him six IV drips (one for asthma, one for cough, two for heart rate adjustment, and two for anti-inflammatory medication—I only know one of them is azithromycin). Is it normal to receive so many drips all day? I mentioned that I have a sensitive allergic constitution and allergic rhinitis. My son has been constantly rubbing his nose and eyes all day. I don't know if she took it into consideration.Doctor's answer:
Asthma is a genetic disease that requires a family history. If diagnosed, it requires lifelong treatment. At the current level of medical technology, both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine can only control the symptoms but cannot completely cure it. However, many doctors now misdiagnose asthmatic bronchitis as asthma. I don't know what your child's condition is. If the white blood cell count is not high, there is no need for intravenous infusion.
