Patient's question:
The baby is now three months old and has a cold with nasal congestion, cough with phlegm. It has been three days. The baby has been taking Xiao'er Ganmao Chongji and Xiao'er Qingfei Huatan Keli. Is it necessary to add antibiotic treatment?Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby has developed an upper respiratory infection after catching a cold, which weakened the body's resistance, allowing bacteria or viruses to enter. The symptoms Linca U is experiencing, such as runny nose, nasal congestion, and coughing up phlegm, are typical of this condition. I recommend giving your baby the oral medication you mentioned, increasing fluid intake with warm water, and taking Cefixime granules orally. Pay close attention to keeping your baby warm to prevent further exposure to cold and help alleviate the cold. If the condition worsens, I suggest taking your baby to a formal hospital for pediatric consultation and having the attending doctor perform a lung auscultation.
