Question
A 10-month-old child has started coughing, with a history of clear nasal discharge, which has now become thick and yellow. The child occasionally coughs at night. The child has been given pediatric paracetamol and chlorphenamine granules, and amoxicillin, as well as drinking honey-sweetened pear water. Ask how to help the child recover faster and worry that the cough may develop into pneumonia.
Answer
The ten-month-old child has symptoms of clear nasal discharge, which may be due to catching a cold from the cold. Immediate treatment is required. Although the mucus has turned yellow now, this also indicates that the condition is improving. The child can be given pediatric cold granules, and if there is coughing, pediatric lung-clearing granules can be used. Continue to take amoxicillin and observe the condition for three days.
