Question
The child is 11 months old and had a rattling sound in their throat during their afternoon nap on Tuesday. Their throat was red, and they were prescribed Yu Xing Cao oral liquid and ceftriaxone. On Wednesday morning, the child had a fever, and a blood test showed bacterial infection, prompting the prescription of new medication. The medication from Tuesday was discontinued, and Ju Hong granules were prescribed instead. The child refused bitter medicine and still had a rattling sound and coughing during naps. That evening, they went to the clinic again, and the doctor said there was still phlegm.
Answer
Based on your description of the situation, it is possible that the child has bronchitis or another respiratory system disease. The main approach would be symptomatic treatment and careful nursing. If there is coughing with phlegm, you can use cooling blood medicine or use nebulization inhalation methods. Additionally, if there is suspicion of bacterial infection, antibiotic medications can be used. To control fever, pay attention to diet being light and drinking small amounts of warm water frequently, and ensure adequate rest.
