Question
My child has been running a fever for three days, accompanied by a runny nose, cough, and phlegm, with the cough worsening when the body temperature rises. They are currently taking amoxicillin, children’s paracetamol granules, and compound platycodon loquat syrup, but the effect is not significant. Are there any medications that can alleviate these symptoms faster?
Answer
Fever accompanied by cough and phlegm in children could be symptoms of pneumonia or bronchitis. It is important to seek timely anti-inflammatory treatment at this point, considering switching to azithromycin as an antibiotic, and combining it with medications like Pulilekang cough syrup and Errening. Also, staying well-hydrated can help accelerate recovery. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your child a speedy recovery!
