Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Fever with phlegm and difficult breathing on the evening of August 14. Past Treatment and Effect: 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. Once the cause is identified, 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, you can take oral medications such as cephalosporin drugs and cough and phlegm relieving decoctions. In cases of severe inflammation and infection, it is recommended to consider intravenous treatment 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 of food multiple times.
