What to Do When a Child Has Cough and Low Fever?

Question

My 6-year-old child has been coughing and running a low fever without improvement. We’ve visited several hospitals, and the X-rays show signs of bronchitis, suggesting intravenous treatment. Concerned about the child’s age, we hesitated to proceed with the injection. We were given cefazolin, which seemed to help for a couple of days, but now the symptoms have returned. Is intravenous treatment necessary?

Answer

For bronchitis, it is important to pay attention to removing phlegm from the throat to prevent it from blocking the airways. Treatment methods that can be self-healing should be considered, but symptomatic treatment to suppress symptoms is preferable. Intravenous treatment is recommended, and a combination of azithromycin andMuxitan can be effective. During cold weather, be mindful of staying warm, avoid catching a cold, and do not consume spicy food. These are the suggestions for the question “What should I do when my 6-year-old child has persistent cough and low fever after visiting several hospitals?” I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
