Patient's question:
After five days of having the flu and a fever, the child still has a stuffy nose, occasional coughing with phlegm audible, and yellow and excessive eye discharge. Currently, they are taking Lonicera japonica, Oseltamivir, Azithromycin, and Lonicera root. What can be done to cool the blood and cure the cold? Should they focus solely on taking the previous medications?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, has the child had a fever for 5 days? Have you had a complete blood count test? Considering 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 the cough has phlegm, you can take ambroxol oral liquid to relieve cough and phlegm. If there is a lot of phlegm, you can coordinate with a nebulizer and drink more water. The above is advice on the question "Child has a fever after 5 days of influenza, still stuffy nose." I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
