Patient's question:
A 11-month-old baby has been experiencing hiccups, hoarseness, and coughing for 15 days, with the symptoms worsening in the past 10 days. The baby has been coughing, sneezing, and has a sore throat, with coughing being more severe in the morning and evening. Each cough lasts for 2-3 breaths, and there is a sensation of phlegm. What should be done?The baby has taken Ertanjing and Xike lao, twice a day, but the symptoms have not improved significantly. What medication should be taken? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
The current situation requires attention to the baby experiencing recurrent urethral and pulmonary inflammation. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination. Please ask the doctor to perform percussion to check for inflammation and provide symptomatic treatment. If oral medication is not effective, consider intravenous treatment. Drink more water. If the condition does not improve in the long term, it is necessary to go to the hospital for further examination and treatment. I hope the above answer can help you. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
