Question
The 2-year-old and 2-month-old child has been coughing for over 20 days without improvement. Medication hasn’t worked. He has a cold with a runny nose. The chest X-ray yesterday showed bronchitis. He started having dry vomiting and diarrhea yesterday. He hasn’t eaten much for the past two days. Is it okay to give him Azithromycin and medicine to strengthen his abdomen?
Answer
Firstly, I recommend that you take the child for a routine blood test, and if necessary, add a viral antibody test. This will help determine the cause of the vomiting and diarrhea, allowing for more accurate treatment.
