Patient's question:
Daughter often has fever and cough. She coughs whenever she gets cold, and also frequently has clear nasal discharge even when she doesn't have a fever. This morning, she had a slightly high fever and coughed with phlegm. I gave her Amoxicillin Clavulanate Potassium Granules, Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules, and Loquat Lung-Purifying Granules. I also used a cold towel to cool her forehead, but she started dry heaving after a short while and vomited twice. She is now sleeping.Past Treatment and Effects:
She used to have similar symptoms before. We would give her fever-reducing injections, take cold medicine, and use traditional Chinese medicine enemas, but the effects were not significant.
Kind of Help Needed:
She frequently has recurring episodes, and I want to know if she might have bronchitis or something similar. How can I strengthen her immunity?
Doctor's answer:
The child frequently experiences fever, runny nose, and cough with phlegm, which may indicate a weakened immune system. If the child has bronchitis, a chest X-ray will show a clear and continuously increasing increase in lung texture. The child is prone to getting sick, which may be due to poor immunity. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a thorough immune function check. In daily life, attention should be paid to increasing the child's disease resistance.Second, implement preventive vaccinations on time.
Third, the diet should be balanced, avoiding picky eating and meat deficiency. It is necessary to eat more foods rich in high-quality protein, various vitamins, and trace elements, such as lean meat, fish, fresh vegetables, and fruits, etc.
