Patient's question:
Question: Doctor, my baby is three months and seven days old. When he was two and a half months old, he caught a cold, coughed, developed bronchitis, and then pneumonia. He was hospitalized for treatment. After discharge, the child sometimes has a stuffy nose. Besides phlegm, he also sweats frequently, especially on the back of his head and back. Before getting sick, he had a bowel movement every two days, and the green stool was very large and smelly. After getting sick, he had a bowel movement once a day, and the stool was yellow. Now, he hasn't had a bowel movement for three days. Yesterday, he drank more milk, and in these days, we have increased his milk intake from 120ml to 150ml. Yesterday and today, he drank very little milk, and he has been in a bad mood and weak, with no energy. He napped with a stuffy nose and coughed several times. The hospital examination showed coarse respiratory sounds in both lungs, with dry and wet rales, but no obvious abnormalities in the heart and lungs. The doctor prescribed medication for inhalation and Aichang. Doctor, I would like to consult you. We just discharged on the 9th of this month, and now he is sick again. However, it's difficult for him to recover from taking medication and inhalation. Should we consider hospitalization for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,According to your description, this condition can first be treated with oral medication at home. Pay close attention to your observations. During treatment, ensure adequate rest, drink plenty of water, and take measures to prevent catching a cold. There is no need for hospitalization. Medication at home is sufficient.
The above advice is for the question "Problem: Doctor, my baby is seven days old," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
