Question
Since March 25th, the baby has been continuously coughing, with each bout lasting about 4 coughs, accompanied by a whistling sound during breathing. After 5 days of intravenous treatment at a local hospital, there was no improvement, and a chest X-ray diagnosis confirmed pediatric pneumonia. The baby was hospitalized for a week and is still coughing, with the wheezing sound still prominent. Inquiring about medication for home treatment after discharge.
Answer
For pediatric pneumonia, during the hospital stay, medications such as aminophylline injection, azithromycin, cefoperazone sodium, and metronidazole injection were used for treatment. After discharge, to alleviate cough and wheezing, some medications can continue to be used, but dosage and usage should be adjusted according to the doctor’s instructions. In addition, enhancing the baby’s immunity and constitution is also very important. When treating acute tonsillitis, medications such as Manqian Shuqian granules can be used, and antibiotics like amoxicillin can be taken for anti-inflammatory purposes.
