Patient's question:
(2006-1-4 23:08:10) Increase Reward | Add Question | Complain |I have a boy at home, who is 7 years old, weighing 60 jin, with a height of 125 cm. His complexion is rosy, and he sweats from his back and head after slight exercise. Since he was over 2 years old, he has had a cold with tonsillitis and pus, leading to persistent high fever every month. During the high fever, he also coughs, and each episode requires intravenous fluids for four to seven days, sometimes over 10 days in total. This has been recurring for two years (from November 2000 to November 2002). He once had pneumonia, and after November 2002, he stopped intravenous fluids. He often watches
Doctor's answer:
Infants are easily susceptible to bronchiolitis, which is a type of pneumonia. In this condition, the child may appear pale, often turning purple, with accelerated breathing, shoulder lift breathing, and subcostal retractions during inhalation. It is important to seek hospital treatment promptly. Massage for children's cough primarily involves parents gently patting the child's back. For children with wind-heat cough accompanied by tonsillitis, combining foot massage with the back patting can yield better results.
