Question

Can a baby take ribavirin granules, amoxicillin clavulanate potassium suspension, and compound codeine oral liquid at the same time? Are there any harmful effects on the body? I’ve been taking them for two days already!

Answer

For your situation, it is likely that the cough is caused by an upper respiratory infection, which is a chronic non-specific inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, primarily due to bacterial or viral infection. Usually, the condition is mild and the course is short, with the ability to heal spontaneously and a good prognosis. However, a very small number of patients may develop secondary acute sinusitis, otitis media, tracheobronchitis, glomerulonephritis, myocarditis, or pneumonia, so it should not be taken lightly. It is recommended to consult a respiratory department at the hospital for a re-examination to determine the exact cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Do not take medication blindly. For the prevention of upper respiratory infections, it is first important to develop good hygiene habits.
