Question
The 7-month-old baby has been diagnosed with bronchitis and has already undergone five days of intravenous treatment with ceftriaxone and Xylazine. However, there is still a cough, particularly frequent at night and in the morning. During the day, there is occasional coughing, with minimal phlegm and no obvious wheezing. Inquiry about whether to continue using anti-inflammatory medication, and which among the available home remedies—Pulile Cough Syrup, Chuanbei Qingfei Syrup, Dis cough Granules, and Children’s Cough Syrup—is suitable for the child’s current condition. Also, inquiry about which anti-inflammatory drug among Cefamandole, Cefaclo, and Cefaclor is suitable for the child’s use.
Answer
Coughing may be a stimulating (irritative) symptom caused by inflammation, and it is recommended to promptly take cough suppressants like Kekexin and Azithromycin for treatment. If medication is ineffective, intravenous treatment may need to be considered. Avoid spicy food, consume fresh vegetables and fruits in abundance to aid in recovery.
