Patient's question:
BR>My daughter had a viral cold that wasn't fully cured, followed by a high fever of 42 degrees Celsius. She was diagnosed with bronchopneumonia, with a cough and phlegm for more than half a month. After treatment, there was no significant improvement. The fever has subsided, but the symptoms of coughing and phlegm have not been resolved. She has received many intravenous drips, but there has been no improvement. I want to know what traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat her thoroughly.Duration and persistence of the illness: 15 days
Current general condition: Persistent coughing, phlegm
Medical history: None
Previous diagnosis and treatment history and effectiveness: Received intravenous drips for four days and took two sets of traditional Chinese medicine, but there has been no improvement.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, bronchitis in children is a common clinical condition that can occur in all four seasons, with higher prevalence in winter and spring. If treatment is not thorough, it tends to recur, affecting a child's development. Clinical manifestations of pneumonia in children include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, although some may have severe coughing and wheezing without fever. Children can be given Xiao'er Fei Rè Ke Chuan Koufuye (Children's Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid), which is a commonly used auxiliary medication for pediatric pneumonia and bronchitis in clinical practice. It significantly enhances efficacy, and when combined with antibiotics like azithromycin, it can reduce antibiotic resistance and shorten the treatment duration. It is also a recommended medication for consolidation therapy in pneumonia and bronchitis.
