Patient's question:
My two-year-old son has had a cough again and symptoms of a red and swollen throat the day before yesterday. His temperature was around 38 degrees. He visited a doctor and received pediatric expectorant and cough granules, amoxicillin granules, and Huang Dan Chuan Bei oral liquid. However, there was no significant improvement after taking the medication. Last night, his armpit temperature reached 39 degrees, and he was taken to the hospital for a fever-reducing injection and also received a saline drip of azithromycin. Today, his temperature is between 37 and 37.8 degrees, and he is not in good spirits and has poor appetite for dinner. Yesterday, the doctor asked him to come back today for another drip. I would like to ask about my baby's current condition and what treatment should be administered. Can he fully recover without the drip?Previous Treatment and Effectiveness:

With patience and medication, your baby will recover completely.Based on your baby's current condition, I suggest you follow the doctor's advice and give medication on time. Additionally, you should also take many antiviral medications, such as Antiviral Oral Liquid, Ribavirin Granules, or Xinbolin. You can choose one of these three to give your baby according to the instructions, and your baby will gradually recover. I hope my reply can help you!
