Patient's question:
How many days can a child take Compound Furcold and Apricot and Apricot Mixture? How many days can they take Cefadroxil?Past treatment history and effectiveness: The doctor diagnosed tracheitis. Compound Furcold Oral Solution and Apricot and Apricot Cough and Phlegm Oral Solution have been taken for 5 days, and Cefadroxil for three. It has improved a lot, but there is still some phlegm in the throat that can't be coughed up.
What help is needed: I want to know if it's necessary to continue taking Compound Furcold Oral Solution and Apricot and Apricot Cough and Phlegm Oral Solution. How many days at most can they be taken? How many days at most can Cefadroxil be taken? The doctor said to take it for 5 days at that time.
Doctor's answer:
The duration of taking Cephalosporin and Compound Furacillin Oral Solution should be determined based on the actual condition of the illness. Generally, the course of treatment for a cough should last at least 3-5 days. Therefore, doctors typically prescribe a 5-day course of medication and may adjust the prescription or extend the treatment if necessary. If the child's cough has not fully healed but has improved, it indicates that the medication is effective, and the course can be reduced to about 1 week or even 10 days. It is recommended to revisit the hospital for reexamination if needed. For thick and sticky phlegm, taking Compound Furacillin Oral Solution can help. Pay attention to humidifying the indoor air.
