Patient's question:
The baby is over three years old and used to rarely get sick. Since starting kindergarten for a few days in September, they have been experiencing repeated fever, cough, and runny nose. They took medicine and had intravenous drips for over a month, finally completely resolving the inflammation. However, the stomach and intestines were damaged by the medication, leading to vomiting and mild calcium deficiency. The child loves to cry, especially at night. After taking Chinese medicine for a few days to regulate their condition, they began to slowly regain appetite and strength. After visiting the World Expo Park, they started coughing again the past two days. The cough worsened despite taking medicine at home, and today they had to go see the doctor again.Doctor's answer:
The condition of the child is primarily considered to be a respiratory infection. It can be caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, chlamydia, and other microorganisms. Common symptoms include fever, cough, coughing up phlegm, and difficulty breathing. The child can visit the pediatric department of the hospital for tests such as a complete blood count, blood superpower test, bacterial culture test, and chest and abdominal scans to aid in diagnosis. If diagnosed, the child can be treated with azithromycin granules, children's Qingre Qingfei syrup, or intravenous administration of cefixime and vitamin C, among other medications.
