Question
How to treat pneumonia and cough in children?
Answer
Symptoms caused by mycoplasma infection must be treated with regular oral medication, which is curable. It is recommended to take tetracycline, azithromycin, and rifampin, among other medications. During the treatment period, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits for a quicker recovery. For asthma, it generally requires anti-infection, bronchodilation, expectoration, and cough relief treatment. Oral theophylline sustained-release tablets, amoxicillin potassium clavulanate, terbutaline, and low-dose prednisone are recommended. Complement this with ultrasonic nebulization therapy, along with Chinese medicine such as Xiao Qing Long Decoction and Mahuang Decoction. Avoid spicy, cold, greasy foods, enhance physical fitness training, and prevent colds.
