Patient's question:
Child (8 years old) with lobar pneumonia occasionally has high fever, severe dry cough at night, has been given Azithromycin for four days, and Azithromycin plus Clindamycin were added today. Is the antibiotic too strong? Seeking advice: Azithromycin and Clindamycin infusion, is the antibiotic too strong? Are there other options?Doctor's answer:
If it's pneumonia, the course of the illness is generally at least one week. Azithromycin is used for anti-infection treatment, and it is not recommended to combine it with clindamycin. Additionally, patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness. The above are suggestions for this issue, and it is hoped that they will be helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
