Patient's question:
The child is 4 years old and has been coughing for more than three months. I have been taking him to various specialist clinics in our province's major hospitals for a long time. He has always been treated for bronchitis or a sore throat, but his condition has not improved. Recently, he has been experiencing frequent fever. The other day, I took him to the children's hospital in our province and met an experienced expert. She ordered a CT scan and pulmonary function test, which revealed sinusitis and mild mixed ventilatory dysfunction of the lungs. She recommended a 10-day course of intravenous fluids, primarily consisting of ceftriaxone and azithromycin, and also prescribed a nasal spray. The child cried constantly during the IV treatment, complaining of stomach pain. However, after two days of treatment, he still has high fever in the afternoon and at night. Seeing him like this, I am in great pain and don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by sinusitis, and you need to go to the hospital for a sinus CT scan and an endoscopic examination of the nose. Use nasal drops containing 1% ephedrine to constrict the nasal passages and improve drainage. Additionally, intravenous drip of a large amount of antibiotics for treatment, and oral medication with Huo Dan pills. Strengthen physical exercise to enhance physical fitness and prevent colds.Children with allergic rhinitis are significantly affected by the condition. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialized clinic and follow the doctor's guidance. Drinking more water and paying attention to dietary issues can be beneficial in daily life. We hope the child can recover quickly!
