Question
My child is coughing and has asthma. Could it be pneumonia? The clinic has prescribed ceftriaxone nanoparticles and viral control medications. Are these drugs used to treat pneumonia?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have bronchopneumonia. After a thorough examination for confirmation, aggressive treatment should be initiated. Firstly, ensure proper diet, enhance care, avoid adverse effects, and supplement with vitamin C. For viral infections, drugs like ribavirin and hydrocortisone can be used, supplemented by symptomatic treatment such as using dextromethorphan and Otrivin for coughing and aminophylline for wheezing. In most cases, these measures can improve the condition. Specific treatment should be followed under the guidance of a clinical doctor.
