Question
The baby has been coughing with phlegm and has a stuffed nose for three days now. We went to the hospital yesterday, and the doctor prescribed medication. However, the baby started to have a fever of 38 degrees this afternoon. The doctor prescribed the medicine shown in the picture. The baby still has phlegm when sleeping during the nap last night and is not sleeping well. Can we give the baby Etizolam to cool the blood?
Answer
Based on your description, although the fever has recurred, it does not necessarily mean that the condition is improving. The recurrence of cough and fever suggests a possibility of acute bronchitis. I would not recommend taking Etizolam orally. This medication contains not only bronchodilators. Since the child currently does not have asthma, it is not advisable to take it.
