Patient's question:
At 40 days old, my son has experienced two instances where his neck tilted to one side, quite severely. His eyes and mouth also tilted to the same side, with one eye cross-eyed. His neck was stiff, and it took a while for him to turn back.Around the halfway point of his second month, he had a slight cold with a stuffy nose, sneezing, and a constantly rumbling throat, but no fever. The doctor diagnosed him with pneumonia. Now, he always trembles while sleeping. He just fell asleep, but after a short while, he woke up as if startled, trembling in his hands and feet, then started crying. This happens repeatedly, and he doesn’t sleep well.
The doctor suspects he might be calcium-deficient, but a trace element test showed no deficiency.
Doctor's answer:
I need to go to the hospital for some tests, including a chest X-ray, CT scan, and bronchoscopy with bronchial provocation test. I need to take Amoxicillin-Clavulanate Potassium orally, as well as expectorant, licorice tablets, ketotifen, and traditional Chinese medicine for cough relief and phlegm reduction. I should avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods, which are irritating. Regular exercise is also necessary to strengthen my physical fitness.
