Patient's question:
A four-and-a-half-month-old baby developed red spots all over their body after a high fever, occasionally coughing a few times.Doctor's answer:
Coughing and sneezing are symptoms of a cold. Taking Cefixime Granules won't be very effective for you, and Erythromycin Granules for Cough and Phlegm generally have limited efficacy for coughing and sneezing. I recommend giving the child Erythromycin and Dextromethorphan Syrup. The diphenhydramine it contains can help relieve sneezing caused by allergies, dextromethorphan can treat dry cough, and pseudoephedrine can alleviate breathing difficulties caused by tracheal spasm. Its efficacy is better than that of Erythromycin Granules for Cough and Phlegm. If the symptoms are severe, you can also give the child Compound Pholcodine Syrup alone, which has significant efficacy for various coughing and sneezing symptoms. You can try that as well.
