Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Fever with phlegm and difficult breathing on the evening of August 14. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been received. Desired help: Can phlegm be pneumonia? Need to see a doctor.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to actively take your child to the hospital for auscultation and examination, and it is also suggested to combine a complete blood count test. Through auscultation or a complete blood count test, the specific cause can be determined. After confirmation, the treatment plan should be decided based on the white blood cell count in the blood test. When the white blood cell count is slightly elevated, oral treatments such as cephalosporin drugs and cough and phlegm relieving agents can be used. In cases of severe inflammation and infection, it is advisable to consider intravenous treatments with cephalosporin drugs, clindamycin, and Qingkailing. Generally, symptoms will improve within 5-7 days, and it is important to keep warm and feed your child small amounts frequently.
