Patient's question:
The baby is seven months old and has a cough, runny nose, shortness of breath, and a wheezing sound in their breathing. They have been receiving injections for over ten days, but the condition hasn't improved. The past two days, an X-ray showed increased and blurred lung textures in the right lower lobe, as well as thickened shadows of the right hilar region, suggesting pneumonia. When taken to the children's hospital, they were told it was nothing serious and that it was in the recovery phase. However, the baby still has shortness of breath, a runny nose, and a wheezing sound in their throat almost every day.Is this serious? I don’t know which hospital to trust… The baby is in good spirits, eating and drinking normally, and hasn’t had a fever.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it is common to have symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be adjusted by adding 0.5 degrees; if it exceeds 37 degrees, it is considered a fever. You can use Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules for treatment. Drink plenty of water, pay attention to keeping warm, and if necessary, intravenous fluids can be used for treatment.
