Question

A 6-month-old baby is coughing with phlegm and experiencing diarrhea. The baby has been taking Qingre Keshi Oral Liquid, Monkey Ear Ring Anti-inflammatory Granules, Composite Lactic Acid Bacteria Capsules, and Ceftriaxone Granules, but the diarrhea has not subsided.

Answer

For a 6-month-old baby with cough and phlegm, it is recommended to drink plenty of water and take cold medicine. If diarrhea occurs after taking ceftriaxone, it may be a drug reaction. It is suggested to discontinue the use of ceftriaxone or reduce the dosage, and consider using Shenling Baizhu Powder and Er Qing Fei Xue Granules. At the same time, stop using the Qingre Qingfei Oral Liquid. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish you and your baby good health!
