Patient's question:
The baby started fevering the next morning after getting vaccinated in the afternoon. After applying a fever reducer patch, the fever subsided on the third day, but a runny nose and cough began on the fourth day. What medicine to take and what kind of help is desired: The baby has been taking Xiao'er An Fen Huang NIng Granules for a day, but there is no improvement. Should some anti-inflammatory medicine be taken, such as Cephalexin?Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby's upper respiratory infection is caused by a weakened immune system after vaccination, allowing bacteria to enter the body. The clinical symptoms include fever, runny nose, coughing, and phlegm. I recommend giving your baby oral roxithromycin and antiviral oral liquid, drinking plenty of warm water, taking Hao Wang Hao Gan Granules and Xiao Er Qing Fei Qing Fei Tablets, eating light and easily digestible foods, avoiding extremely cold, hard, and spicy foods, eating more pears or drinking pear water cooked with rock sugar, as pears have the effects of moistening the lungs and clearing phlegm. Pay attention to preventing cold and avoiding catching a cold to relieve the symptoms.
