Patient's question:
After the cough recurred, I bought medicine to take, which temporarily solved the problem. Half a month later, my facial skin developed allergic symptoms—redness on both cheeks and facial swelling. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found hematuria (erythrocytes 227, occult blood 3+); I received intravenous fluids for a week. After a week, the erythrocytes dropped to 63, and the occult blood was 2+. The doctor stopped the IV fluids and prescribed Cefixime and Pudilan for a week.

On November 18, 2010, tonsillar bleeding occurred after a cough, which might be caused by acute glomerulonephritis due to tonsillar infection. The onset of the disease typically occurs 1-3 weeks after streptococcal infection, accompanied by a decrease in serum C3. The condition gradually improves and returns to normal within 8 weeks.Recommendations:
Mainly focus on rest and symptomatic treatment.
I. General Treatment:
Gradually increase activity after the return of gross hematuria to normal.
Low-sodium diet (less than 3g) and high-quality protein, preferably animal protein.
II. Treatment of the Infection Focus:
Inject penicillin for 10-14 days at the beginning of the illness (macrolides can be used for those allergic).
III. Symptomatic Treatment:
If there is 2+ occult blood, review promptly. The child is young and has a strong self-healing ability. Since "every medicine has three," it is recommended not to take medication.
