Patient's question:
The child is 4 years old and has been coughing for more than three months. I have taken him to various specialist clinics in our province for a long time. He has been treated for bronchitis or a sore throat, but it hasn’t improved. Recently, he has been having frequent fever. The other day, I took him to the children’s hospital in our province and met an experienced expert. She ordered a CT scan and pulmonary function test, which revealed sinusitis and mild mixed pulmonary ventilation obstruction. She prescribed intravenous fluids for at least ten days, mainly with cephalosporin and azithromycin, and also gave him a nasal spray. The child kept yelling about stomach pain during the IV treatment. The problem is that after two days of treatment, he still has high fever in the afternoon and at night. Seeing him like this, I feel very helpless and don’t know what to do.Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by sinusitis, and it is necessary to undergo sinus CT scans and nasal endoscopy at the hospital. Use nasal drops containing 1% ephedrine to constrict nasal passages and improve drainage. Additionally, intravenous drip of a large amount of antibiotics for treatment, and oral administration of Huo Dan pills for medicinal purposes. Strengthen physical exercise to enhance physical fitness and prevent colds.
