Patient's question:
The baby is ten months old. The fever has gone down, and the rash has disappeared. Now the baby has a slight cough. They have been to the hospital twice. One doctor said the lungs are fine, just a bit of redness in the throat, while the other said it's bronchitis with phlegm. At home, we have Cefixime, Cefprozil, and Pulmicort. Which one should we use? Use a multi-angle small amount.Doctor's answer:
The baby has a fever and a rash, which could be due to a viral infection in the pediatric emergency department. Generally, it can heal on its own within 5-7 days. However, if there is coughing and phlegm, it may be necessary to consider a bacterial infection. Therefore, you can give the baby oral cefixime granules and pediatric lung cough syrup. Drink plenty of water. Pay attention to whether there is nasal discharge—if it is yellow nasal discharge, it may still be a bit of viral infection.
