Patient's question:
A child who is one year and nine months old weighs 30 pounds. Their appetite is usually good. When they were eight months old, they caught a cold which led to pneumonia and had to be given intravenous fluids. After that, they became prone to catching colds, and whenever they get a cold, it takes a long time to recover. They have been to many places for treatment, but the only symptom that persists is coughing with phlegm. They also tend to vomit. Previously, they never vomited. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Need to go to the hospital for chest X-ray, CT, bronchoscopy, bronchial provocation test, and other examinations. Need to take Amoxicillin Clavulanate Potassium orally, expectorant, licorice tablets, ketotifen, and traditional Chinese medicine for cough relief and phlegm resolution. Avoid spicy food, alcohol, and cold foods during the day. Regular exercise is recommended to strengthen the body.
