Question
After a baby has been coughing for a few days, can medication treatment begin?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, the baby was diagnosed with bronchitis after coughing for two to three days, and the doctor prescribed cephalosporin antibiotics and some tablets, including licorice tablets and hydrochloride propylthiouracil oral solution. For children under 6 years old, there are certain standards for medication dosage: for babies under 1 year old, the daily dosage is approximately 10-15ug (equivalent to 2-3 milliliters of oral liquid), for children aged 1-3 years, the daily dosage is approximately 15-20ug (equivalent to 3-4 milliliters of oral liquid), and for children aged 3-6 years, the daily dosage is approximately 20-25ug (equivalent to 4-5 milliliters of oral liquid). Please follow the doctor’s instructions when administering the medication and pay attention to any changes in your baby’s symptoms. If you have any questions, please consult a professional doctor or pharmacist.
