Patient's question:
Three-year-old Xiao Bao has had a cough for more than a month and it hasn’t improved. The cough started on October 4th. On October 10th, he went to the hospital for a blood test and was diagnosed with bronchitis. He received three days of intravenous drips, and his symptoms improved. He then continued to take medication. He has been taking Chloey dry suspension, Huichun powder, and cetirizine hydrochloride syrup for cold symptoms, which have improved, but he still coughs in the morning. By the end of October, his morning cough symptoms had not resolved, so he went to the hospital again for a blood test, which was still diagnosed as bronchitis. He was prescribed Xiao Er Fei Ke Granules, acetylmide dry suspension, and a silver root cold relief patch for the navel. After taking these for three days, his cough did not improve and instead, he developed clear nasal discharge, with his cold symptoms worsening. Please see the attached lab report. What should the doctor do in this situation? It’s hard to see the child coughing every day. Thank you very much for providing help.Doctor's answer:
