Patient's question:
The baby had a fever for three and a half months, and after the fever subsided, they started coughing and sneezing. They took medicine, but it had no effect. When they had a fever, they took fever-reducing medicine and a little blood was released. They took some medicine, and the next day the fever stopped. However, after getting better, they continued to cough and sneeze. They went to the children's hospital and saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who prescribed some medicine. The first day they took it, it had some effect, but the next day they started coughing again. Now the medicine is almost finished, but they are still coughing and sneezing. What is going on? Please give some advice. Can the vaccination be (repeated)? How should the baby's cough and sneezing be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it seems to be acute bronchitis or bronchopneumonia that has caused the cough symptoms. Active treatment is necessary. The baby's vaccinations can be postponed, and this will not affect the baby's immunity to the disease. It is recommended that you actively follow up with the pediatric department for an examination and undergo necessary tests such as chest X-rays and blood tests to confirm the diagnosis. Currently, oral antibiotics such as cefixime granules, as well as drugs like diphenhydramine and salbutamol, can be taken for initial treatment. After the diagnosis is confirmed, a specific solution can be chosen. Wishing you good health.
