Patient's question:
Baby 11 has a cold, with the highest fever reaching 37.3 degrees Celsius. They have a runny nose, hiccups, and later took some Nalpen. After taking it for two days, the symptoms reduced, so they stopped the medication. Now they just have a bit of clear nasal discharge. In the past two days, they have started to have yellow nasal discharge again. What could be the reason? Can they avoid taking medication? Can carrots and pears be boiled together to make a decoction?Doctor's answer:
The baby developed a high fever and a runny nose on October 11th, which was a viral infection. Later, when yellow nasal mucus reappeared, it indicated a secondary bacterial infection of the second-level neurons. At this stage, not taking medication or suppressing the condition's progression could lead to severe complications such as bronchopneumonia or heart failure.Medical Advice: It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medications such as Amoxicillin granules, Cefaclor granules, or Cefuroxime granules. Additionally, you can take traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, such as Xiao'er Qingfei granules. Boiling carrots and pears together is also beneficial, as it can moisten the lungs and expel phlegm.
