Question
The 3-year-old child has been hospitalized for over a week and is receiving intravenous drips. Initially, the child was admitted to the hospital due to a fever, and after the fever improved, diarrhea began. A few days ago, the diarrhea stopped, but now the child has a fever of 39 degrees and is also coughing. What could be the cause?
Answer
Based on your description, the child’s current condition may be caused by bronchitis and there is no need to worry too much. I suggest giving the child ambroxol oral solution, paracetamol phenylpiperazine, amoxicillin granules, and using attapulgite powder to stop diarrhea. Follow the doctor’s orders for intravenous treatment. These medications are specifically designed for children with minimal side effects. Additionally, make sure the child drinks plenty of water and stays warm.
