Patient's question:
Last Monday, after getting the DTP and polio vaccines, my child had a slight fever in the evening, which then subsided. Starting from Tuesday, there was a bit of coughing, some phlegm in the throat, and occasional wheezing sounds while breathing. In the mornings, the coughing was more severe, but at other times, it occurred occasionally. My child is now 21 months old and is in good spirits overall.Doctor's answer:
Hello, cough may be caused by respiratory infection or bronchitis. It is recommended to take a chest X-ray or chest fluoroscopy to confirm the cause. Azithromycin or cefixime capsules can be taken for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous infusion with antibiotics is used. For thick sputum, Gancao Mixture can be taken orally, and drinking plenty of boiled water is also helpful. Alternatively, atomization inhalation treatment can be combined for excellent results.
