Patient's question:
The baby is six and a half months old. She coughed occasionally the day after choking on water, without other cold symptoms. Blood tests showed high blood counts. Did she inhale water into her trachea? How should she be treated with medication?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it is common to have symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be adjusted by 0.5 degrees; if it exceeds 37 degrees, it is considered a fever. Acetaminophen and Chlorpheniramine Granules can be used for treatment. Drink plenty of water, pay attention to keeping warm, and intravenous fluids may be used for treatment if necessary.There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
