Patient's question:
The child was born 39 days ago. Starting from last Wednesday (December 11th), they began to cough lightly, with phlegm in their throat. On Thursday night, we took the child to an emergency room near our home. The doctor diagnosed them with upper respiratory infection and prescribed Pudilan and Baocai to drink. After two days of medication, the child had diarrhea. On Sunday, the doctor visited again, stopped the Pudilan, and switched to antiviral injections. On Sunday night, the child had a fever of up to 38.1°C, and the cough became more severe. Yesterday, after the doctor listened to their lungs, they added Jiebei. Today, the injections have already been administered. Although the cough frequency has increased since Sunday, the child looks very strained when coughing. The doctor listened to their lungs today and said there were no issues, but the child needs to focus on taking the medication. The newborn child is experiencing discomfort from the cold, including coughing.Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is important to promptly implement inspection and treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. The condition can change rapidly at this stage. Pay attention to taking preventive measures against colds and consuming sufficient fluids. It is important to be mindful of preventing the recurrence of pneumonia. Pay attention to promptly seeking treatment at local regular hospitals or institutions to stabilize symptoms. Many of the child's current symptoms are not very typical. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
