Question
The baby has been coughing for a month, received cefoperazone for 12 days and amoxicillin, took azithromycin for 7 days, cefixime for 5 days, cefaclor for 3 days, also had an abdominal X-ray done, and was diagnosed with pneumonia. It’s still not improving; coughs at night but only 7 to 8 times in the morning, not coughing much during the day, and only wheezing in the lungs. I’ve stopped taking medication for two days.
Answer
Based on the information you provided, the baby has been on antibiotics for a significant period. It is advisable to stop using them now and closely monitor any changes in the condition. The most important thing at this point is to prevent the baby from catching a cold, feed with breast milk as needed, allow the baby to recover naturally. If there is no improvement in the condition, consider undergoing nebulizer inhalation therapy.
