Question

Can Pediamycin oral solution and Fuketuo freeze-dried powder be taken together? My baby, who has acute tracheitis, has already seen a doctor at the hospital and been prescribed (Rimavirin, Ceftriaxone, and cough syrup), but the child’s symptoms are getting worse now, with a low fever.

Answer

It seems your child’s condition is a manifestation of an uncontrolled infection. 1. There’s no need to use so many immunomodulatory agents. One would suffice; Pediamycin is a good choice. 2. Consider administering medication via intravenous drip. 3. It may be advisable to consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor who can provide a clear diagnosis of the child’s body condition and then adopt Chinese medicine treatment. Consider using herbal formulas such as Baidu San, Sangju Yin, and Yingjiao San. 4. Ensure timely intake of various nutrients needed for the child’s growth and development. Consider using multivitamins, probiotics, and bone-strengthening powders. 4. Take good care of the child, adjust clothing as needed, and pay attention to maintaining a suitable indoor temperature and humidity.
