Patient's question:
Our baby started coughing on December 25th, which then developed into bronchopneumonia. We have been taking Azithromycin for one day, then intravenous Azithromycin for three days, followed by another day of oral Azithromycin—totaling five days of Azithromycin in total. Since yesterday, we haven’t taken it anymore, but today we started experiencing diarrhea. Additionally, every time we cough, there’s a bit of poop on the pants. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Bronchopneumonia primarily manifests as coughing and sputum production. Some cases of pneumonia are caused by Mycoplasma infection! Mycoplasma infection responds well to azithromycin, but azithromycin also has side effects, including common gastrointestinal reactions such as dry cough, abdominal pain, and nausea/vomiting is relatively rare. It is recommended that you take Montmorillonite powder orally to stop diarrhea and use Bifidus to regulate the intestinal flora! The above advice is for the question "Our baby has been coughing since December 25th and has developed bronchopneumonia." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
