Patient's question:
The baby is one and a half years old. The day before yesterday, they had a fever. Yesterday, the fever subsided, but they occasionally coughed. Whenever they coughed, they would vomit. Today, the symptoms are still the same—no fever, but with some phlegm in the cough. Everything they eat comes back up, and they seem listless.Doctor's answer:
After the baby had a cold and fever, the symptoms of cough did not improve significantly. It is generally considered that the local inflammation of the trachea caused by a viral or bacterial infection has not been fully resolved. If this persists for a long time, it is recommended to take an X-ray to rule out conditions such as tracheitis or pneumonia.The baby likely caught a cold due to getting cold. You can try giving them Ganlichilin and Magan Granules to take. Additionally, a blood test should be conducted. If the blood test results are high, antibiotic treatment may be needed. Azithromycin works well. Make sure the baby drinks plenty of fluids. If they have a fever, you can use ibuprofen suspension for oral administration. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
