Question
“My baby is three months old and has been hospitalized for pneumonia for ten days before coming home. However, there is still a slight cough and bubbling sound. The stethoscope examination shows that the breathing sound is heavy but without any noise. Do I need to take Ceftriaxone?”
Answer
“Based on your description, your baby is currently in the recovery phase of pneumonia. As long as the baby’s condition is stable, body temperature is normal, and appetite is good, there is no need to take additional Ceftriaxone. After pneumonia heals, there may still be coughing and phlegm sounds, which may be due to the fact that the lesions have not been completely cleared. At this time, you should pay attention to observe for any signs of recurrence of the disease and have a professional diagnosis and treatment by a doctor.”
