Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. May I ask if a one-month-old baby with a cough and phlegm can take medicine?Doctor's answer:
Cough is caused by an infection of the upper respiratory tract and should be treated promptly with anti-infective medications to prevent the occurrence of bronchopneumonia. Azithromycin or cephalosporins can be used to control the infection. Antiviral oral liquid can be taken for antiviral treatment, and aerosol inhalation therapy can also be performed to moisten the respiratory tract and reduce the production of mucus in the airways.Hello, it is suspected that the infection is caused by a virus. It is recommended to receive intravenous administration of ribavirin for antiviral treatment and ceftriaxone for anti-inflammatory treatment, combined with symptomatic treatment. Proper fever reduction and increased fluid intake are also advised.
