Patient's question:
Medical condition description: Had a cold for a week. The first few days had no coughing, but in the last three days, the coughing became worse day by day.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took Si Ji Kang Wei Kou Fu (Four Seasons Antiviral Oral Liquid) and Cephalosporin, but the effect was not significant.
Help needed: What medicine should I take?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, I consider it to be caused by an upper respiratory infection. Since the child is young and has a weak immune system, combined with their own physiological reasons, if treatment is not timely, it is prone to complications with bronchitis. Therefore, active symptomatic treatment is necessary.Guidance: Since the cough has lasted for a long time, there is a possibility of mycoplasma infection. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a blood test and chest X-ray to identify the cause and pathogen before symptomatic treatment. Avoid using antibiotics blindly to prevent unnecessary adverse reactions. Rest well, drink plenty of fluids, and avoid spicy and stimulating snacks. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery.
