Patient's question:
My child has only been born for fifty days. Recently, he has been coughing in the mornings and also has a stuffy nose. I can hear a rough sound coming from his lungs and he spits up fluid. It might be a respiratory infection, right? Doctor, do you have any special medication for this? Also, what sleeping position would be most comfortable for him? Thank you, doctor, and all the netizens.First question supplement: Can I give him Mucosolvan (Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution)?
Additionally, can I give him "Fucotero" (Spleen Peptide Oral Freeze-dried Powder) to boost his immunity?
Doctor's answer:
Upper respiratory infections can cause symptoms such as fever, nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Fever is often infectious, primarily caused by the infection of pathogens. If the pathogens are not eliminated, fever may recur. Oral cold medications such as pediatric paracetamol and chuanxindan granules or pediatric cold medicine granules can be given to the child for treatment. If the temperature rises above 38.5°C, ibuprofen can be taken orally to normalize the body temperature. Blood tests and C-reactive protein tests can be conducted in a formal hospital to identify the cause of the fever and provide targeted treatment. The child should drink more water, maintain a certain humidity in the room, and sprinkle water on the floor to help alleviate nasal dryness and improve breathing discomfort.
