Question
The baby is three months old and was hospitalized for ten days due to pneumonia. Two or three days after discharge, the baby started showing symptoms of mild coughing and foaming at the mouth. Auscultation revealed that the baby’s breathing sounds were heavier but without any murmurs. The question is whether the baby needs to take cefotetan.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby is currently in the recovery phase of pneumonia. As long as the baby’s condition is stable, appetite is good, and there is no fever, it is not necessary to take additional cefotetan. After pneumonia recovery, there may still be coughing and phlegm sounds, which indicate that the body is still expelling residual secretions from the lungs. It is recommended to closely observe the baby’s condition changes and seek medical advice in a timely manner if necessary for professional diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
