Patient's question:
The child is 18 months old and has been coughing for 7 days. Initially, it was only coughing when waking up at night, but in recent days, it has also been coughing during the day and wheezing. After taking the pediatric mucus-expelling and cough-relieving granules and cefadroxil dry suspension, the child occasionally coughs up phlegm, which is white and sticky with a small amount of food residue, accompanied by diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
The child has a cough, which may be caused by respiratory infection symptoms. In this case, it is recommended to take Qingfei Huatan Zhike Granules and Cephalosporin antibiotics. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of plain water. There is no need to worry. If the condition worsens, it is advisable to undergo nebulization treatment. For a runny nose, medications such as Houtong Granules and Xiaokaike should be taken.
