Can children with bronchopneumonia eat erythromycin and other such medications?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I always can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. May I ask if children with bronchopneumonia can take medications like erythromycin?

Doctor's answer:

Considering it may be bronchitis, you can try giving your child Ma Gan Granules and Qing Zhu Li Oral Liquid. If the blood count is high, you may need to supplement with antibiotics. Make sure your baby drinks plenty of water, ensure the room is well-ventilated, and it will gradually improve. Wishing your baby healthy growth. The main consideration is that the fever symptoms are likely caused by a viral infection. I recommend you get a blood test to help with diagnosis. If the antiviral treatment is not effective, you can appropriately use some anti-inflammatory medication, which may be more effective. The characteristics of viral infection are that it tends to cause recurrent high fever. Viruses usually stop replicating within a week, so don't be too anxious. Drink more water, get adequate rest, and if the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can use a cold compress on the forehead for physical cooling. If the temperature is higher, you can use fever-reducing medication. Fever is a process, and if there are any other abnormalities in your baby's condition, seek medical treatment promptly.
