Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, upper respiratory tract infection is a common pediatric disease, mostly caused by viral infections. However, some children may also have bacterial infections simultaneously, and the course of the disease is usually around one week.Suggestions:
1. If the baby doesn’t drink the goat horn cold medicine oral liquid, you can try switching to other heat-clearing and detoxifying medications, such as Radix Isatidis or Qingkailing.
2. The repeated fever and infection are related to uncontrolled symptoms. The treatment course was too short, and it’s not much related to the mother’s medication, as you mentioned. However, since the child is allergic to cephalosporins, the mother should be cautious when taking amoxicillin and avoid breastfeeding as much as possible.
3. The current treatment is fine. It’s recommended to continue with intravenous fluids. Additionally, if the baby’s temperature exceeds 38.5°C, oral antipyretic medication can be given.
4. The baby should rest and drink plenty of fluids, eat a light diet, and recovery should only be a matter of time. Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
