Patient's question:
Hello, my child is 3 and a half years old. Since last year when he started kindergarten, he has frequently had fever and cough. The last time, it has been 2 weeks already, with 6 days of fever accompanied by cough and runny nose. During this period, he received intravenous drips with treatments including Shuanghuanglian, Azithromycin, oral Revimmune and Anbuosuo. After the fever subsided slightly, he continued to cough with runny nose, and took oral Azithromycin, Revimmune, and Anbuosuo. A week later, the fever returned.Doctor's answer:
Generally, drugs with slow and sustained effects are selected for antipyretic and analgesic purposes, such as acetaminophen, calcium carbapiponate,, and bupleurum, with physical cooling methods used to lower high fever. Mucolytic and expectorant medications are used to clear nasal secretions and maintain respiratory tract patency. Inhalation therapy may be necessary when needed.There are many factors that can affect the pediatric respiratory system. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should avoid encouraging picky eating or food preferences in children and ensure a balanced diet.
