Doctor's answer:

Hello: Long-term illness is generally considered to be caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. You can give your child azithromycin granules to see if the symptoms improve. Vomiting can easily cause electrolyte imbalance in children, so it is recommended to correct it promptly with intravenous fluids. Encourage your child to drink more water. There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If your child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
