Patient's question:
After five days of having the flu with a fever, the child still has a stuffy nose, occasional coughing with phlegm, and yellow, excessive eye discharge. Currently, they are taking Blue Fritillaria, Oseltamivir, Azithromycin, and Blue Gentian. What can be done to cool the blood and cure the cold? Should they focus solely on taking the current medications?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, has the child had a fever for 5 days, and has a complete blood count test been performed? Given the child's current condition, it is first necessary to check a complete blood count and CRP to assess the infection status. If it is a viral infection, you can take oseltamivir granules and Lanting oral liquid. If there is cough with phlegm, you can take ambroxol oral liquid to help expel phlegm and relieve cough. If there is a lot of phlegm, you can coordinate with a nebulizer treatment and drink more water. The above suggestions are for the question "Child has a fever after five days of influenza, still stuffy nose." I hope it helps you. Wish you good health!
