Patient's question:
The baby has a cough with phlegm, stuffy nose, and hiccups for three days. Yesterday, I took the baby to the hospital, and the doctor prescribed medication. But this afternoon, the baby started to have a fever, reaching 38 degrees. The doctor prescribed the medicine shown in the picture. The baby still has phlegm after taking the cough medicine during the afternoon nap, and they are not sleeping well. Can the baby take E (Lianxue) for cooling blood?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, although the fever has reappeared again, it does not mean that the condition has improved. Currently, the recurrence of cough and fever suggests a high possibility of acute bronchitis. It is not recommended to take Ebastine orally. This medication contains only asthma-relieving drugs. Currently, the child has no asthma, so it is not advisable to take it. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if my baby has a cough with phlegm, nasal congestion, and sneezing?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wish you good health!
