Patient's question:
.4 Condition Description: The baby started fevering at 38 degrees on the 27th. They went to the clinic, where the doctor said the throat was inflamed, gave two days of muscle injections, and prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. However, it didn't work, and neither the children's paracetamol and chuanxin tablets nor the cough syrup had any effect. The baby doesn't cough, but there is always phlegm in their throat, and the snoring sound is very loud.Previous Treatment and Effect: The baby was treated at the women and children's hospital for three days with intravenous fluids and was given phlegm-reducing medication, including Bromhexine Hydrochloride Oral Solution and children's anti-allergy granules, but none of these had much effect.
Help Needed: The baby is very urgent and would like to ask all the doctors for advice. Please suggest any good solutions. Thank you very much for your help!
Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should not be a severe respiratory infection. Direct medication combined with dietary therapy can be sufficient. For medication, you can prioritize Compound Fresh Bamboo Shoot Juice and atomization methods. For dietary therapy, you can try the following: stew pears with rock sugar to nourish the yin and moisten the lungs, and to invigorate the stomach and generate body fluids. It is suitable for conditions such as chronic tracheitis, whooping cough, and chronic pharyngitis. Eat one portion in the morning and one in the evening. Stewed pears with rock sugar do have a cough-relieving effect, but it requires some time to take effect. Eating stewed pears with rock sugar regularly can dispel phlegm-heat and nourish the yin and moisten the lungs. If possible, adding fritillaria to the stew is even better. Additionally, pears can alleviate symptoms such as dry throat, itchy and sore throat, and hoarseness. Patients with tuberculosis who eat pears regularly can relieve symptoms of lung-heat cough and excessive phlegm. Hypertensive patients who eat pears regularly can nourish the yin, clear heat, lower blood pressure, and reduce symptoms of dizziness and blurred vision. Hepatitis and cirrhosis patients who eat pears regularly can protect the liver, alleviate liver cirrhosis, aid digestion, and nourish the spleen and yin. Stewed snow pears with rock sugar can be made into Snow Pear Drink, which can clear heat and quench thirst, and is suitable for fever, fluid loss, and thirst caused by external pathogens such as warm viruses.
