Patient's question:
.4 Condition Description: The baby started fevering at 38 degrees on the 27th. They visited the clinic, where the doctor said the throat was inflamed. They received two days of muscle injections and were prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, but it didn't work. The pediatric paracetamol and chuanxin tablets also had no effect. The baby doesn't cough, but there is always phlegm in their throat, and the snoring sound is very loud.Previous Treatment and Effect: The baby was treated at the maternal and child hospital for three days with intravenous fluids and was prescribed phlegm-reducing medication, including Bromhexine Hydrochloride Oral Solution and pediatric anti-allergy granules, but they had little effect.
Help Needed: The baby is very urgent and would like to ask all the doctors for advice. Please suggest any good solutions. Thank you very much for your help!
Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should not result in a severe respiratory infection. Direct medication combined with dietary therapy should suffice. For medication, you can prioritize Compound Fresh Bamboo Shoot Decoction and nebulization. As for dietary therapy, you can try the following: stew pears with rock sugar to nourish the yin and moisten the lungs, and to invigorate the stomach and generate fluids. It is suitable for conditions such as chronic tracheitis, whooping cough, and chronic pharyngitis. Consume half a pear in the morning and evening. Stewed pears with rock sugar do have a cough-suppressing effect, but it requires some time to take effect. Regularly eating stewed pears with rock sugar can dispel phlegm-heat and nourish the yin and moisten the lungs. If possible, adding fritillaria to the stew is even better. Additionally, pears can alleviate symptoms such as dry throat, itchy and sore throat, and hoarseness. Patients with tuberculosis who regularly eat pears can relieve symptoms of lung-heat cough and excessive phlegm. Hypertensive patients who regularly eat pears can nourish the yin, clear heat, lower blood pressure, and reduce symptoms of dizziness and blurred vision. Hepatitis and cirrhosis patients who regularly eat pears can protect the liver, alleviate liver cirrhosis, aid digestion, and nourish the spleen and yin. Stewed snow pears with rock sugar can be made into Snow Pear Drink, which can clear heat and quench thirst, and is suitable for fever, fluid loss, and thirst caused by external pathogens such as warm viruses.
