Patient's question:
The weather was very good the other two days, so I took the baby out to sunbathe. It might have caught a cold. The baby's symptoms are: tearful eyes, coughing, phlegm, a wheezing sound in the throat. What should I do? I'm very anxious now! What illness could this be! This afternoon, I took the baby to the children's hospital for a lung examination. The doctor prescribed some medication, but after taking it once, there was no improvement. The baby isn't running a high fever, but is sweating a lot. The kind of help I need now: The main issue is the cough, and my heart aches!Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is likely tracheitis caused by a fever, which may be related to catching a cold or a viral infection. Due to the inflammation, there is an increase in secretions, leading to coughing and excessive phlegm.Recommendations: For this condition, treatment can include oral administration of children's cold medicine. Additionally, laboratory tests can be conducted to determine if there is a bacterial infection. If a bacterial infection is present, antibiotic treatment may be necessary. Avoid getting cold again.
I hope my explanation is helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
