Patient's question:
Our baby is five years old this year. Since December 25th, he has been coughing, which has developed into bronchopneumonia. Initially, he took one day of azithromycin, followed by three days of azithromycin, and then one more day of azithromycin. He hasn't taken any since yesterday. Today, he has started having diarrhea, and every time he coughs, there's a little poop on his pants. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Based on the baby's condition, it appears to be gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by the use of azithromycin. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis of the disease. Targeted treatment with appropriate medications, such as montmorillonite powder and probiotics, may be effective. The above advice is for the question "Our baby is five years old and has been coughing since December 25th." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
