Patient's question:
The baby got capillary bronchitis and pneumonia a few days ago and has been coughing. It seems like there are a lot of phlegm in the throat, and sometimes the baby feels short of breath and struggles to breathe. The baby is crying and uncomfortable. The baby has been receiving intravenous drips for three days and has undergone two days of. The doctor also prescribed "Fulike Heji," but the cough hasn't improved, and the phlegm in the throat is still the same. The drips seem to be mainly for treating pneumonia. Please help, how can I get the phlegm out of the baby's throat?Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is either a recovery from respiratory inflammation or a pre-scarring manifestation. Regularly patting the back and drinking plenty of water are the best ways to alleviate phlegm by changing positions. Only in severe cases can pediatric Qingfei Liangxue and Amoxicillin be taken together for treatment, which can lead to a quick recovery. The child's respiratory inflammation shows signs of gradual recovery, indicating it is not severe. Drinking plenty of water, changing positions, and anti-inflammatory treatment when necessary can lead to recovery and full healing.
