Question

A baby who is 2 months and 29 days old has abnormal stool with a foul odor, cries during feeding, and has vomiting. There is also a lot of phlegm (can the baby undergo nebulizer treatment?). The baby has not had a fever and has been coughing continuously for a month (occasionally coughing). Symptoms have not improved after seeing a doctor. Please provide medical advice and medication prescription, including dosages. Attach a copy of today’s routine blood test report.

Answer

Based on your laboratory results and description, it is considered that the baby may have an infection. It is recommended to take Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium, Children’s Lung Clearing Syrup, and probiotics. Nebulizer inhalation treatment can be combined. Daily care should include feeding the baby more warm water, enhancing the baby’s warmth, and timely clearing respiratory secretions. Medications should be taken according to the instructions. The mother should pay attention to staying warm, eat light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, greasy, and fried foods.
