Patient's question:
A week ago, he started coughing, and now occasionally he still has a fever, runny nose. We have given him children's cough syrup and children's fever-reducing granules, but he hasn't recovered much. Sometimes after giving him medicine, he still vomits. A blood test revealed inflammation, and we have given him quite a few anti-inflammatory medications.How many days will this process take? How can he recover faster? The child doesn't like to drink water—he avoids it and only drinks some porridge. Breastfeeding cough is not constant; it's just intermittent.
Previous Treatment and Effects:
A few days ago, he had a fever and a sore throat. Could it be that it didn't recover completely?
Help Needed:
We hope the expert can provide some assistance. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, pneumonia generally takes 7-15 days or longer, depending on your baby's own condition! Don't be too anxious, bacterial infections always have a process, and with good immunity, medication for 6-7 days is usually enough! I suggest you find ways to get your child to drink more water! At the same time, parents should pay attention to preventing colds and maintaining indoor air humidity, not too dry! Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
