The baby has had a cold with cough and phlegm for about seven or eight days. Initially, there was a lot of phlegm and coughing. After taking snake gall and fritillaria syrup for three days, there was no significant improvement. Subsequently, a doctor diagnosed the condition and prescribed Cefradine and Xuan Fei Zhike Granules. After taking them for three consecutive days, the symptoms did not improve. Today, there is a stuffy nose and runny nose, especially in the morning when waking up, with a marked cough and symptoms of nausea.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s condition may be caused by bronchitis and requires a combination of antibiotic, hormone, antiallergic, antiviral, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. In daily diet, spicy, cold, and other irritating foods should be avoided, and exercise should be increased to enhance physical fitness. For children diagnosed with pediatric respiratory system conditions, parents should cooperate with doctors in gastrointestinal decompression treatment and develop good hygiene habits. At the same time, parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating and dietary preferences.
