Question
The little girl weighs 30 pounds and has been coughing for 5 days. For the first two days, the cough was not severe, only at night. Last night, the cough became severe, and she developed a high fever. After taking fever-reducing medicine, the fever subsided, but it has been coming and going ever since. What should I do?
Answer
I believe your baby may have pneumonia caused by mycoplasma invasion into the body after catching a cold, with clinical symptoms including fever and cough. I suggest administering azithromycin and ambroxol to your baby, drinking plenty of warm water, taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication like Xyloproct, eating light and easy-to-digest food, avoiding cold and hard irritant foods, and taking precautions against the cold to prevent delays in the condition due to catching a cold and developing a cold.
