Can babies with acute nephritis drink children's cough syrup?

Patient's question:

The baby was diagnosed with acute nephritis caused by an upper respiratory infection in July. After the urine protein turned negative, they were discharged and went home to take medication. They stopped taking the medication after three months. Usually, the urine test results are normal, but they have occult blood in the urine test whenever they catch a cold. Now they have a severe cold and cough. Can they take Sanjiu Children's Cough Syrup? Recently, for the past year.

Doctor's answer:

Sanjiu children's cough syrup is a drug contraindicated for patients with kidney disease, and it is not recommended to give it to children.
Advice: It is recommended to seek medical attention at a formal hospital pediatric department for examination. Medication should be selected based on the condition, and attention should also be paid to the condition of the kidneys. There are many causes that can lead to pediatric kidney disease. If the child is confirmed to have kidney disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
