Patient's question:
Two and a half months illness description: My baby is two and a half months old. She was hospitalized once before because of a fever and was diagnosed with bronchitis. She received some anti-inflammatory injections during her hospital stay. After discharge, she stayed at home, but after more than ten days, she started coughing again. There is a lot of phlegm in her throat, and because she is too young to cough it out, she is very uncomfortable. We took her to the hospital for diagnosis, and they are now giving her anti-inflammatory and phlegm-reducing injections. Two days have passed, and she is still coughing with phlegm. Now, I would like to ask the doctors how to treat her better. Can traditional Chinese medicine be used? Thank you all.Past treatment and effectiveness: She received injections in the hospital more than ten days ago for several days. She started getting injections again yesterday.
Help desired: Now, I would like to ask the doctors...
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the recurring cough in the child may be due to insufficient treatment or a possible decline in personal immunity. For treatment, it is recommended to give the child E oral liquid, which can quickly expel phlegm, relieve cough, dilate airways, and treat recurring cough. While taking the medication, avoid spicy, cold, and greasy foods. The child's low immunity and poor resistance may be the cause. You should pay attention to the child's daily dietary regulation, ensuring a balanced and nutritious diet, especially drinking a bag of milk every day. It is also recommended to soak the child's feet in hot water every night. Additionally, encourage the child to eat more vegetables and fruits and engage in appropriate outdoor exercise.
