Question
The child has a lung infection with coughing at night, a hoarse throat, and uneven breathing. The condition hasn’t improved with large needles, and the doctor has prescribed Blue Dragon Lozenges and Pulmo-Cough Mixture. The child has been taking them but there is no improvement. Can Azithromycin Granules and Blue Dragon Lozenges be taken at the same time?
Answer
Based on your description, the child may have pneumonia. In the treatment of pneumonia, it is usually recommended to undergo intravenous fluid therapy. For pneumonia, oral Azithromycin can be helpful as it has antibiotic properties and can reduce inflammation. In oral medication treatment, using two antibiotics simultaneously can target both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Blue Dragon Lozenges are a traditional Chinese medicine used primarily for antiviral purposes, so they do not conflict with Azithromycin and can be taken together.
