Patient's question:
At first, I caught a cold, had diarrhea, then got a runny nose with coughing, and it seems like there's phlegm. Occasionally coughing, sweating all day. Now I've been taking Children's Cough and Phlegm medicine for the second day, but it's not working well. No fever, doing well mentally.What kind of help do I need: Should I continue taking this medicine? Can I take an anti-inflammatory antibiotic like cephalexin? How much should I take? My son weighs 27 pounds. Can I take it with the other medicine? I don't want to go to the hospital.
Doctor's answer:
The situation with the child is likely a recurrence of an upper respiratory infection. The main thing to focus on is medication and providing symptomatic treatment. The key is to concentrate on medication and provide symptomatic treatment to see how it goes. Cephalosporin can be used specifically. Additionally, you can use antiviral medications like Children's Paracetamol and Sodium Trimethoprim for symptomatic treatment. If there is phlegm, you can use Mucosolvan or Fresh Bamboo Juice for treatment. The only thing left is to prevent the child from getting a fever again.
