Patient's question:
[Okay, to begin with, I had a fever, and I took Nimesulide and Cefixime for two days. The fever subsided, but then I started coughing with a runny nose. I continued taking Cefuroxime and Cough Granules for about five days. I noticed that I was basically better, so I stopped the medication. However, two days later, the cough returned. I went to the hospital for an injection and continued taking medication. After about a week, I was basically better, but two days later, it came back again. My son coughs more severely in the morning when he wakes up, but he hardly coughs in the afternoon and evening.Help needed: Why does my son keep coughing repeatedly?]
Doctor's answer:
Hello: I believe your baby has developed an upper respiratory infection due to a lowered immune system after catching a cold, which allows bacteria or viruses to invade the body. The clinical symptoms include discomfort and pain in the throat, phlegm, and coughing. I recommend giving your baby oral azithromycin and antiviral oral liquid, encouraging them to drink plenty of warm water, and administering Haowaowa Cold Relief Granules and Chlorpheniramine. The diet should be light and easy to digest, avoiding spicy or irritating foods. Consuming pears or drinking pear soup sweetened with rock sugar is beneficial as pears have the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. You can also consider using a nebulizer. It's important to keep your baby warm and avoid catching a cold again to prevent the cold from worsening.
