Question

The baby had a fever for 4 days before, but the fever subsided today. However, there is still coughing with phlegm. The doctor diagnosed it as allergic bronchitis and recommended nebulizer inhalation treatment. But the parents reported that the child has had a poor response to nebulizer treatment in the past, with unsatisfactory treatment results, taking a month to improve. In addition to prescribing ceftriaxone, Eitanjing, and Xike, the doctor also suggested oral antiallergic medication, anti-inflammatory drugs, heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine, and lung-clearing and phlegm-thinning medicine. He also advised on enhanced care, drinking more warm water, eating steamed pears, and frequently patting the back to help expel phlegm.

Answer

It is recommended to give the 3-year-old baby oral antiallergic medication, anti-inflammatory drugs, heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine, and lung-clearing and phlegm-thinning medicine. Additionally, enhanced care should be provided by drinking more warm water, eating steamed pears, and frequently patting the back to help expel phlegm. Moreover, it is advised to avoid nebulizer inhalation treatment due to its previous poor effectiveness. Wishing the little one a quick recovery and a healthy body and a beautiful life.
