Patient's question:
The child next door really likes to play with my daughter, but recently they haven't dared to play together because she has caught a cold again. Relatives said her daughter is not in good health—she just recovered from a cold half a month ago, and her cough hasn't been fully treated yet, so she caught another cold and her cough has become even worse. What medicine should a child with frequent colds and cough take?Doctor's answer:
Children are experiencing recurrent fever and cough again. Generally, such recurrent colds are related to a decline in immunity. It is necessary to conduct timely and thorough examinations to determine if it is mycoplasma pneumonia. Blood tests are recommended for a more accurate diagnosis. If a decline in immunity is detected, oral medications to reduce immunity can be used to stabilize the condition. Additionally, if mycoplasma infection is present, it is necessary to decide on the use of macrolide antibiotics for anti-infection treatment.
