Patient's question:
The baby is seven months old and has recently caught a cold with coughing. They have been taking cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and cough syrup. The cold has improved, but the cough hasn't decreased. Yesterday, they took erythromycin granules and noticed red rashes on the baby's body, so they stopped taking it. There is phlegm in their throat, but since they are still very young, they won't cough it up. It's been five days now, and we are all very worried.Doctor's answer:
The child has developed cough again with phlegm, which is likely caused by acute tracheitis. This is mainly due to pathogen transmission and often occurs after a cold. You can give the child oral Xiao'er Qingfei Liangxue Granules or Xiao'er Huatan Kechi Granules to relieve symptoms. At the same time, it is recommended to perform blood tests and Mycoplasma tests to identify the cause and provide targeted treatment. Pay attention to keeping the child warm and drinking plenty of hot water.
