What should I do if my child is 5 years old, coughing severely, and also has a fever?

Patient's question:

Hello: My son is five years old and has caught a cold again. He has severe coughing, fever, and has been given five bottles of Sudaqin. The symptoms are stronger now, and although the fever has subsided, the cough persists. I don't know what to do. Please help.

Doctor's answer:

Your child has been coughing for a long time, and the blood test results indicate a bacterial infection, so it can be treated with antibiotics. In this case, it is recommended that you and I get a mycoplasma test. If it is a mycoplasma infection, it is suggested that you use macrolide antibiotics.
