Question
My child is four years and nine months old. The doctor prescribed an intravenous infusion of azithromycin, and also allowed oral azithromycin. Can I do that? The child has a cough and fever. Previous treatment and effects: Not sure what kind of help is needed: Like this cough, it’s been five days and still coughing, and has been feverish for two days. The temperature can’t be controlled, coming and going. I want to ask what to do.
Answer
Based on your description, it seems that your child’s condition may be caused by a bacterial infection that has led to bronchitis, resulting in cough and fever. The use of azithromycin in your child is unclear, and this situation requires focused treatment but also a change to a new antibiotic. I suggest using cefoperazone sodium probenecid, Qingkailing, Muxutan, etc., for treatment, while also taking oral Pipay Qingfei Granules. This should have a good effect, helping the child’s bronchitis to heal naturally and making the cough disappear.
