Patient's question:
Today the child has a cough and a mild fever, and is breathing rapidly. What should I do? How is it now? It's not an allergy, and there's no family history. What kind of assistance do you need: Hello, I don't want to go to the hospital for IV fluids. Is there any other method? I gave him Amoxicillin and Little Melon's cold medicine, and just now he also took a heat-clearing and cough-suppressing syrup. Is that right? It started to wheeze in the afternoon, and I'm a bit worried about pneumonia.Doctor's answer:
I believe your baby developed pneumonia after catching a cold, which weakened the body's resistance, allowing bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma to enter the body. The clinical symptoms include high fever, coughing with phlegm, and shortness of breath. I recommend testing your baby's blood and mycoplasma to determine the cause, and then providing symptomatic treatment based on the diagnosis. Chest X-rays should be taken to confirm the diagnosis. During this period, ensure your baby gets adequate rest, avoids overexertion, and consumes light, easily digestible foods. Avoid extremely cold, hard, or spicy foods, which can be irritating. Pay attention to preventing colds and fever to avoid worsening the condition.
