Question
My child had bronchial pneumonia, and the X-ray showed enlarged lung textures, high fever, dizziness, and loss of appetite. They received seven days of injections and are now better, but still have a cough. Do they need to take more medicine?
Answer
There’s no need for your child to continue taking medicine in this situation. Antibiotics, while effectively clearing bacteria, also harm the body’s normal cells, leading to increased resistance. The cough in the post-infection stage is based on recovery. It can be complemented with Chinese medicine opsonize. Drink plenty of water to prevent catching a cold again. Eat a light and nutritious diet and avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods.
