Patient's question:
I started coughing on Thursday, and it has been three days. Today, my body temperature was slightly high in the daytime, but it went down after drinking some hot water. Later, I felt a bit warm again, and it went down while I was taking a nap. I have white phlegm and a runny nose, but it's not severe. I am taking Nian Jia An Pinyin Gao and Xiao'er Aminophenol Yellow, but I don't know if it's the right treatment. Should I take Cefixime for inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Children's Paracetamol and Dextromethorphan Granules are suitable for relieving symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches, hiccups, runny nose, nasal congestion, and sore throat caused by common cold and influenza in children. Wen Jia An Loquat Paste possesses the functions of moistening the lungs, cooling the blood, relieving cough and wheezing, protecting the throat, soothing the throat, generating fluids, replenishing qi, and regulating the heart and reducing fire. These two medications can be used together. Taking Cephalosporin for anti-inflammation is also acceptable. It is recommended to use these medications under the guidance of a doctor. The above advice is for the question "My child has been coughing since Thursday, what should I do?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
