Patient's question:
The child has a cough but refuses to take medicine; the injection has been administered for several days but there is no improvement; what should I do?Past treatment history and effectiveness: The child is 8 and a half months old and has had a cough for 4 days. They have received several injections at a nearby clinic without any improvement; they refuse to take medicine and are not eating either.
What kind of help is desired: Only want the child to recover as soon as possible.
Doctor's answer:
This situation is preliminarily considered to be caused by upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, etc. After a detailed and thorough examination to identify the specific cause, active treatment should be initiated. Daily dietary habits should be appropriate, with increased fluid intake, attention to rest, and avoidance of harmful stimuli. Vitamin C supplementation should be provided, and antibiotics such as penicillin and erythromycin should be used to actively suppress infection. For expectoration, Mucosolvan and Fresh Bamboo Juice are commonly used, while for cough, Cepacol can be applied to achieve rapid therapeutic effects. Specific treatment should strictly follow the guidance of clinical diagnostic physicians.
