Previous treatment and effectiveness: Not treated by a doctor; self-administered Amoxicillin Potassium Clavulanate suspension at home. Desired assistance: Inquire about how to handle the situation from a doctor.
Answer
Considering it may be bronchitis, the use of Amoxicillin Potassium Clavulanate at home has some effect in suppressing the infection. It is recommended to also give the child lung-cleansing and cooling blood medications. If there is no improvement in symptoms after three to four days, it is advisable to visit the hospital for a follow-up consultation.
