Question
Based on your description, my child has been hospitalized ten or more times a year since birth, and this month they have been receiving intravenous drips for almost a month. Can my child use any medication to prevent recurrence? I’ve tried almost all medications, but they still can’t control it. Can you give me a treatment plan?
Answer
According to your situation, it may be caused by a cold. It is usually recommended to take cephalosporin antibiotics or azithromycin to combat bacterial infections. In addition, trying to rest in bed, drinking warm millet congee, drinking plenty of plain water, paying attention to light diet, avoiding spicy foods, staying warm, and avoiding catching a cold are also important. The first step should be to clearly determine whether the infection is bacterial or fungal and use the correct medication for treatment. If it is a bacterial infection, it is recommended to use penicillin-based medications to achieve the expected effect. Furthermore, the indoor air for the sick child should be kept fresh and well-ventilated, and avoid irritants such as smoke, gas, paint, etc. Do not lie down in a semi-reclining position.
