Patient's question:
The baby has been treated with acupuncture and herbal baths for a week. There is phlegm, but the baby is in good spirits when not coughing. Occasionally, there may be a wheezing sound when lying down to take a nap. After a while, the baby coughs. During coughing fits, the baby's face turns blue, but the cough subsides after a burst. Then, after some time, it coughs again. What should I do? Today, I gave the baby Muxutan.Doctor's answer:
For such a long time, it is recommended that you go to a formal hospital for testing and a thorough examination. It could be bronchitis or pneumonia caused by mycoplasma infection, or it might be asthma. If it is caused by a bacterial infection, mainly penicillin and erythromycin drugs are used. If it is caused by a viral infection, antiviral and heat-clearing and detoxifying symptomatic treatments should be adopted. At the same time, using a nebulizer together will be more effective.
