Patient's question:
White blood cells - no problem, do you need to take Cefuroxime Axetil Granules? Not sure if it's necessary to take it, half with white phlegm. Have taken Bailei Granules and Xia'er Huatan Granules for half a month. Throat swab test showed no white blood cells, Mycoplasma, or Chlamydia infection. The doctor recommended taking Cefuroxime, but why take it if there's no infection?Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took Bailei Granules and Xia'er Huatan Granules for half a month with no significant effect.
What help do you need: White blood cells are fine, no inflammation, why do I need to take Cefuroxime Axetil Granules? I'm worried about the harm antibiotics can cause to the child.
Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby developed bronchitis after catching a cold, which weakened the body's resistance and allowed the virus to enter. The clinical symptoms include discomfort in the throat, coughing, and phlegm. I recommend giving your baby oral antiviral liquid and Xiao'er Qingfei Qingfei Pí. Encourage them to drink plenty of warm water and consume light, easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy or irritating foods. Eating pears or drinking pear water cooked with rock sugar is beneficial because pears have the effects of moistening the lungs and clearing phlegm. You can also use a nebulizer, which is quite effective. Always maintain fresh and humid indoor air, and avoid exposure to smoke and dust. Pay attention to preventing colds and catching a cold to alleviate the condition. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
