Patient's question:
Patient Age: Three and a half years oldDetailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: Bronchopneumonia, treated with azithromycin for 6 days without improvement. What should be the next step in treatment?
Current General Condition: No fever, coughing in the morning and evening. First Follow-up Question: Thank you, Dr. Li! I took my child to the hospital today, but no drug sensitivity test was performed. The doctor advised me not to use azithromycin anymore and to switch to oral Taierxin and chicken bile oral liquid. A follow-up visit is scheduled for one week later. Will switching to oral medication delay treatment?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation needs to be considered because the treatment principle for pneumonia caused by pneumonia is to use anti-inflammatory drugs to kill pathogens. Depending on the different pathogens, choose sensitive drugs, early treatment, and sufficient course of treatment. The treatment plan can be selected according to the condition, and at the same time, symptomatic treatment should be given, such as taking antipyretics when fever occurs, and cough should be given expectorant and cough-relieving drugs. For severe pneumonia, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for corresponding inpatient treatment.
