Patient's question:
The baby just started kindergarten this year. A few weeks ago, he had a cough and runny nose, and he recovered after taking cold medicine for three days! The symptoms returned at school, so we stopped giving him medicine. Now he has a cough with phlegm in his throat, and we're giving him lung-purifying syrup, but he doesn't drink it much because it's too bitter. When we gave him Lanqin, he vomited everything he ate. He told me his stomach hurts and he has phlegm in his throat. The hospital examination confirmed, and he was given an intravenous drip for a day. They prescribed pediatric hot cough oral liquid, but he vomited it too. We are seeking guidance.Doctor's answer:
Bronchitis in children is a common respiratory infectious disease. Timely treatment can usually heal on its own without leaving any aftereffects. It is recommended to first test the urine to identify the pathogen. For bacterial infections, use cefixime; for mycoplasma infections, use erythromycin or azithromycin. Oral medication-induced nausea may require intravenous infusion.The above advice is for the question "How to treat my baby's cough and runny nose, who just started kindergarten recently?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
