Patient's question:
My baby has been coughing for nine and a half months with a runny nose and diarrhea. During the day and at night, coughing wakes her up when she sleeps, and occasionally intense coughing causes her to vomit. She has been sick for about 4.5 days. We have been giving her Xiao'er Ke Chuan Ling Granules and Cephalosporin Granules, but there has been no improvement. Please help the experts, what should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to try oral antiviral medications and cold drinks. Even with viral colds, secondary bacterial infections are common, so it is best to add oral antibiotics.3 Suggestions: If the oral medication does not work, it is better to receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. This is because intravenous medications have higher blood concentrations, take effect faster, and are more effective. For those with phlegm, you can try oral fresh bamboo juice. For fever, additional fever-reducing medications should be added appropriately. Generally, it takes 7-10 days to recover. It is best to see a doctor.
