Question
A newborn has red spots and is vomiting. How should one handle the situation of an infant large cell infection?
Answer
A 4-month-old baby may have bronchiolitis, whose symptoms are similar to those described. This condition is caused by a viral infection, and ceftriaxone is ineffective. It only has a therapeutic effect when there is a secondary bacterial infection. Abroad, symptomatic treatment is usually adopted, including appropriate nebulization, back rubbing, and suctioning. The treatment for large cell virus infection is more complex, and it is sometimes not recommended to continue breastfeeding. It is suggested to drink plenty of water, have a light diet, clean the intestines and stomach, and seek traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Oral herbal medicine for clearing the lungs, strengthening the stomach, and digesting food and phlegm is recommended.
