Patient's question:
My daughter had a chest X-ray a few days ago and was given intravenous fluids for five days due to bronchopneumonia. Initially, her cough was not prominent, but after stopping the fluids, her cough became severe. She had two nebulization treatments. Could it be that her pneumonia has recurred? She has been taking erythromycin and Jian'er Qingjie Liquid.Previous Treatment and Outcome:
She received intravenous fluids for five days, and the doctor said she could go home and take medication.
Desired Help:
I want to know if her cough is a bit more severe at home, whether it indicates a recurrence.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a few chest X-rays to check, and further treatment should be carried out after a clear diagnosis. It is also suggested to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Based on the child's pulse, a comprehensive evaluation can be made using herbal decoctions for conditioning. The side effects of traditional Chinese medicine are relatively small, and it can address the root cause. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and greasy foods. The above advice is for the question "Bronchopneumonia was treated with intravenous fluids for five days, but it worsened after stopping the medication. Did it come back?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
