Question
What is the situation with a child coughing and having thick phlegm for about six months?
Answer
The child is now four years old, with poor constitution and is particularly prone to colds. Almost every cold leads to bronchitis, with symptoms mainly characterized by thick phlegm and coughing. And once they catch a cold, they recover very slowly. The bronchitis from the cold in June this year has not been completely resolved until now, with symptoms varying in severity. In August, there were two consecutive acute tonsillitis episodes that required intravenous antibiotics to treat. In October, the symptoms of coughing and thick phlegm were relatively mild, and no medication was used. Seven days ago, the coughing and thick phlegm suddenly worsened, with wheezing sounds in the trachea. The doctor diagnosed it as bronchitis and prescribed six days of cefotetan antibiotics for the coughing and thick phlegm.
