Patient's question:
The baby has been coughing for a month, took Ceftriaxone and Amoxicillin for 12 days, Azithromycin for 7 days, Cefixime for 5 days, and Cefprozil for 3 days. Abdominal X-rays were also taken, and it was diagnosed as pneumonia. It hasn't improved yet. The coughing has stopped at night, only coughing 7 to 8 times in the morning, and not much coughing during the day. Lung sounds revealed rales. Two days of medication have been stopped.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, the baby has been using antibiotics for such a long time. It is recommended to stop using them and wait and see. Currently, the main focus is to prevent the baby from catching a cold, breastfeed on demand, and let the baby's body naturally process it. If the effect is not good, you can try using a nebulizer for treatment.
