Patient's question:
My child got pneumonia a few days ago. After receiving intravenous fluids for half a month, the X-ray showed improvement, but after a week, the cough still has phlegm. Please ask: How can a 1.5-year-old child's cough be treated reliably?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, the child has a cough and may have a lower respiratory tract infection. It is recommended to take oral antibiotics, such as cephalosporins or penicillin-class drugs. Cool blood drugs, ambroxol, or symptomatic drugs. Do inhalation therapy, drink more water, and if the effect is not good, seek medical attention promptly.Children with cough can use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while understanding symptomatic medication. In daily diet, it is essential to avoid being overly hungry or full, and never overeat.
