Question
The baby had a fever, runny nose, and a cough starting on Friday night. Previous treatment and effects: The baby took pediatric Qingfei Liangxue Oral Liquid and Yan Ning Granules, but coughed severely in the latter half of the night, resulting in restless sleep all night. On the third day, I took her to the hospital, where the doctor prescribed Compound Hydrobromic Acid Dextromethorphan Syrup, Salbutamol Sulfate Tablets, and Ketotifen Tablets. I want to know if this medication is appropriate, if there are any side effects for children, and if these drugs are suitable for children? The child is over three weeks old.
Answer
Based on the situation you described, it is usually common to have a fever and upper respiratory infection. This may be due to factors such as improper diet or lifestyle habits. Commonly used medications include pediatric Acetaminophen Yellow Sodium Granules, pediatric Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid, and cephalosporin antibiotics. If the conventional treatment does not yield satisfactory results, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a routine blood test and then determine a reasonable treatment plan.
