Patient's question:
Hello:My baby is 5 months old now. She has phlegm that won’t come out, coughing, a hoarse throat, and is wheezing. Currently, she is receiving an IV drip with 50 ml of 5% glucose, 0.18 Clindamycin, and 100 ml of 5% glucose with 0.1 Viramix.
Could you please suggest any effective treatments for her?
Doctor's answer:
If standard anti-inflammatory treatment is not effective, it is important to consider whether it could be a mycoplasma infection or the possibility of variable asthma. Try mycoplasma treatment and allergy treatment. Additionally, check for tuberculosis infection and chronic pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and chronic bronchitis. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to extrapulmonary mycoplasma infections. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Also, ensure that children undergo routine check-ups and use medications reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
