Patient's question:
Daytime cough occasionally occurs, but over the past four days, there have been two nights of severe coughing accompanied by dry vomiting. The cough produces yellow phlegm, and there is also fever. In the past few days, the child has also complained of ear pain (both left and right ears).Previous treatment and effectiveness: No stable lab results were obtained. Examination results: The doctor said the lungs have been affected by wind-cold, with slight throat inflammation and excessive heat. Additionally, the doctor mentioned that the child might have worms in their stomach.
What kind of assistance is needed: I hope the pediatrician can provide some suggestions on how to prevent this condition and how to treat it. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Consider bronchial infection or pneumonia. It is recommended to see a doctor for percussion and scan diagnosis, and take X-rays for a thorough examination if necessary.Medical advice: For mild infections, anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken for treatment. If coughing or phlegm is present, Fresh Bamboo Juice Oral Liquid or Xia'er Magan Granules can be used for relief. In severe cases, intravenous infusion is recommended. Additionally, be cautious of mycoplasma infection. If mycoplasma infection is suspected, intravenous erythromycin injection or oral azithromycin dry suspension should be administered.
