Patient's question:
The doctor's child has had a slight cough and fever since last Saturday. The doctor at the hospital diagnosed it as purulent tonsillitis and prescribed Cefixime Granules and Jin Zhen Oral Liquid. After taking it for three days, the fever subsided, but the cough became a bit more severe. Today, they went to the hospital again, and the doctor said there were no problems with the blood test results or the trachea and lungs. He mentioned that the cough was caused by a viral cold and that anti-inflammatory medication should not be taken anymore. Instead, he prescribed a new antiviral medication, Compound Houttuynia Cordata Syrup. However, the child is still coughing frequently. Should they take any other medication, or is there a way to care for the child to alleviate the cough?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the baby's cough is caused by a viral infection! If there is phlegm, you can take ambroxol oral solution to promote phlegm discharge. The blood test results are normal, so you can take oral medicine to clear the lungs and cool the blood! Fishy grass syrup has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, clearing the lungs, and cooling the blood. There is a process of complete recovery after taking the medicine. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if my child has a cough and fever?", hoping it helps you, and wishing you good health!
