How to treat cough with phlegm after a baby has a fever

Patient's question:

The baby had a fever for 4 days and it subsided today, but now she has a cough with phlegm. We went to see a doctor and found some allergies and bronchitis. The doctor recommended using a nebulizer, but our baby has never responded well to it since she was a child. Whenever we use the nebulizer, the condition improves and stays better for a month. The doctor then prescribed medication: Cefixime, Ertapenem, and Restlessness.

Doctor's answer:

A 3-year-old child with a cold developed a fever, coughed with phlegm, and was referred back to the local hospital for a follow-up visit. The doctors considered allergic bronchitis and recommended treatment with a nebulizer. The child had previously experienced relief after using the nebulizer, so oral antihistamines, anti-inflammatory drugs, detoxifying herbs, and lung-cleansing phlegm-reducing medications were prescribed. Additionally, enhanced care was advised, including drinking plenty of warm water, eating steamed pears, and frequent back tapping to promote phlegm expulsion. Wishing the little one a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
