Patient's question:
My baby is 18 years old and has been coughing more and more severely these past few days. I've given her Head Gun and Xiao'er Qing Fei Tan Jiang, but it hasn't helped yet. Hello, do you have any suggestions?Doctor's answer:
Based on the child's condition, it is more likely to be bronchitis or pneumonia. A thorough chest X-ray can basically confirm the diagnosis.Medical advice: It is recommended to perform a complete blood count (CBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP) test to carefully observe whether it is a viral or bacterial infection. If it is a bacterial infection, antibiotics should be used. Additionally, a Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody test should be conducted to rule out the possibility of Mycoplasma infection. It is better to identify the cause before treatment to prevent unnecessary medication.
The above advice is for the question "My baby is 18 months old and has been coughing more and more severely these past two days." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
