Patient's question:
Daughter is one year old, weighing 14 kilograms. Four days ago, she had a fever of 38.8 degrees Celsius and received four doses of fever-reducing injections and anti-inflammatory drugs. The fever has subsided. Since the day before yesterday, she has been coughing with phlegm that she cannot expel, and there is phlegm sound during breathing. Additionally, she has been experiencing diarrhea, three to five times a day, with yellow feces. Currently, she is taking Roxithromycin. How effective is this medication for her cough? Are there any other precautions to take? Is diarrhea normal?Doctor's answer:
Suggest intravenous therapy. Diarrhea may be due to infection affecting digestive function, or it could be a result of medication irritation.
