Question
How to handle a 6-month-old baby’s throat phlegm issue before vaccination, and what precautions should be taken on the day of vaccination?
Answer
A 6-month-old baby with throat phlegm was advised by the doctor to wait until the symptoms improve before receiving the vaccine. On the day of visiting the hospital’s internal medicine department, the doctor diagnosed the baby’s organs as inflamed and prescribed Pulmo-Cough Mixture and Clindamycin Hydrochloride Palmate Granules. However, after taking the medication, the baby experienced dry heaves, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and had diarrhea-like symptoms. After switching to rice porridge, the situation improved, but soon returned with watery, egg flower-like stools. The parents, who had never received similar treatment, inquired about the baby’s condition and whether these symptoms were related to the medication taken.
