Patient's question:
A cold brought on a fever with coughing, and after the fever subsided, I felt like I had phlegm that I couldn't cough up. The fever wasn't very high, but it lasted for about ten days, and I've been taking Xiao'er Qingfei Liangxue Koufuye all along. I feel like the coughing has gotten worse.Past Treatment and Effects:
An X-ray showed a fluffy pneumonia. First, I was given Cefixime for two days, then another antibiotic (not penicillin) for six days. Now, there's been no improvement at all. Instead, I feel a bit stuffy. What should I do?
Type of Help Needed:
How should I treat it now?
Doctor's answer:
Pneumonia in children is a common and frequently occurring disease, which can occur in all four seasons, but is more prevalent during the cold winter and spring seasons and during sudden changes in weather. The onset can be either sudden or gradual, but it is more commonly acute. Medical advice: It is often the result of the progression from upper respiratory infections and bronchitis, and can also follow respiratory infectious diseases such as measles and whooping cough. This condition poses a significant threat to children's health, and generally requires intravenous fluid treatment. You can try fosfomycin.
