Question
Last year, my child had pneumonia and has since recovered. However, every time the child gets a fever, they have a severe cough that doesn’t seem to respond to treatment at the local hospital. It’s only when we go to the pediatrician that they get better. Now, the cough is severe again, and I’m wondering what I should do. Hello, why is this happening? Previous treatment and outcomes: Last year, after my child recovered from pneumonia, why does the child always have a severe cough when they get a fever, which doesn’t seem to respond to treatment at the local hospital? It’s only when we go to the pediatrician that they get better. Now, the cough is severe again, and what should I do? Desired assistance: Can I give my child Azithromycin granules, along with Sustenin chewable tablets, and a little traditional Chinese medicine at the same time?
Answer
You can give your child Erythromycin granules, Fresh Bamboo Decoction Oral Liquid, and Children’s Mahan Granules for treatment. Pay attention to making sure the baby drinks plenty of water, avoid spicy and irritating foods. Guidance: It is recommended to use Walnut, Sesame, Red Jujube Honey. Take 2.5 liang of walnuts, 1 liang of black sesame, 2.5 liang of red jujube. After crushing them, mix them evenly in a large bowl. Then add half a spoon of honey and 1.5 spoons of water (since honey is difficult to mix evenly, you can first warm the honey and water on the stove). Cover the large bowl and place it in a large pot. After the water boils, turn the heat down and steam for 40 minutes. Give the baby one spoonful in the morning and evening every day. This recipe is especially good for children and is effective in treating chronic coughs in children, bronchitis, and asthma.
