Patient's question:
Female, 4 years old) My child has had a cough for half a month, and there is inflammation in the urethra. Blood tests and tests for chlamydia and mycoplasma were normal. We have been taking roxithromycin for several boxes, but the inflammation still persists. Taking etanizine, the cough still exists. Previously, it was dry cough during the day and cough with phlegm at night. Should we switch to a different anti-inflammatory medication? Would taking cefixime granules be effective? Would it be better than roxithromycin?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the issue, the child is 4 years old and has had a cough for more than half a month. The blood test results for mycoplasma and chlamydia were normal. They have taken several boxes of azithromycin, but it hasn't been effective. You can switch to cephalosporin drugs and pay attention to rest, avoiding spicy, extremely cold, and greasy foods. The above is the advice for the question "What should I do if a 4-year-old girl has a cough for half a month?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
