Patient's question:
The baby is 1 year and 7 months old. It started fevering yesterday morning, and last night at midnight, the temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius. There is no coughing or runny nose, but the throat is red. Today, the child had a urine test at the hospital, and it was diagnosed as the flu. They were prescribed azithromycin, but the child vomited after taking it and couldn't keep any medicine down. Is there any medicine similar to this that doesn't cause vomiting? What should be done in this situation?Doctor's answer:
This medication may cause gastrointestinal reactions. You can buy that dry suspension for her. Actively reduce fever and drink more water. Upper respiratory infections can also cause dry vomiting. If the baby continues to vomit and cannot defecate, it is necessary to go to the hospital for intravenous fluids. The above is advice for the question "What should I do if my 1-year-old and 7-month-old baby has a fever and a red throat?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
