Patient's question:
My baby is eleven months old. After getting vaccinated, she had a high fever at night. The doctor said her throat was inflamed. She had a fever for two days, and after the fever broke, she started sneezing, hiccuping, and had phlegm in her throat. This condition has lasted for more than half a month. She has been taking medicine prescribed by the doctor and got traditional Chinese medicine from a Chinese medicine hospital the other day. She is still sneezing severely, hiccuping, and has phlegm in her throat.Doctor's answer:
A 11-month-old baby developed a fever again after receiving a vaccine. After a thorough examination, the doctor found that the baby had pharyngitis, recurring fever, runny nose, hiccups, phlegm in the throat, and a hoarse voice. Medication for half a month did not help. Now, blood tests are needed to identify the pathogen, including a complete blood count and Mycoplasma antibody test. High white blood cell count indicates a bacterial infection, which requires taking Cefixime (only if there is no allergy). Positive Mycoplasma antibody test requires taking Azithromycin for anti-inflammatory treatment. Additionally, Antiglutamyl Glucosamine Granules should be taken to clear heat, detoxify, and antiviral, along with Ambroxol Oral Solution to cool the blood. It is important to drink more water, eat more vegetables, and maintain regular bowel movements. Feed the baby less food and milk appropriately to avoid indigestion.
