Question
After half a month of pneumonia treatment, the patient still has wheezing sounds, which are most severe in the morning, accompanied by a hissing sound as if coming from the throat. During physical activities such as running or jumping, there is heavy breathing. Treated at Xuzhou Children’s Hospital, the patient received pneumonia oral liquid and azithromycin granules. One week later, the follow-up visit showed that the lung mycoplasma had turned negative. But why is there still wheezing? What is the cause? The patient coughs two to three times a day without fever or cold symptoms. What’s happening?
Answer
The patient may still have mild coughing and wheezing symptoms, possibly indicating asthma bronchitis. It is recommended to undergo nebulizer inhalation treatment and pay attention to staying warm. The patient should drink plenty of water and avoid catching colds. If the patient still has persistent coughing and wheezing symptoms in recent days, it is advisable to avoid eating sweet and cold foods to prevent exacerbation of wheezing symptoms. In addition, specialized nebulizer treatment can be performed to stabilize the condition. Azithromycin can be continued for 2 to 3 treatment courses.
