Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My child is two years old this year, and he has been in good health. The only thing is that he has been coughing frequently for the past week, along with a feeling of high fever. I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they said it was Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection causing the cough. How should it be treated? If I don't want to use antibiotics for my child, can I drink traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, if it is a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, it is recommended to take oral medication on time and in the prescribed dosage as advised by the doctor. It is important to ensure that the baby drinks plenty of water daily to slow down metabolism. While it is important, the effect may take longer to show. If the baby's condition is severe, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice and actively treat the condition. Observe the baby's condition regularly, and there is no need to worry too much.
