Patient's question:
Half condition description: The child started to have a fever and diarrhea at six and a half months, followed by a cough and cold. They visited the doctor for nearly 20 days. After about a week, the symptoms mentioned above disappeared, but there was still phlegm. They were taking Cefdinir and Mianserin for treatment.Current treatment and effectiveness: Today, they planned to go for a vaccination. The doctor checked and said the throat was still a bit red, so vaccination was not possible.
Desired help: Should they continue taking medication, or go to the hospital for phlegm treatment? It has been so long without improvement (though the phlegm sound is not obvious). What should they do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello.1. You can use to thin mucus, allowing it to be expelled smoothly. The symptoms of irritation in the throat caused by mucus will disappear, and the frequency of coughing will also decrease. After each, parents can bend their hands into a hollow shape and gently pat the child's back from bottom to top, making it easier for the child to cough out the mucus.
2. Give the child steamed pears with Fritillaria cirrhosa. Generally, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice to take medication and consume liquid, easily digestible food. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods. Sensitive antibiotics should be selected for treatment.
