Question
Started coughing with phlegm four days ago, along with a runny nose and loss of appetite. Sometimes I have a low-grade fever, and the cough worsens at night. I have previously undergone a routine blood test with elevated blood count. I have been treated with cefixime, antihistamine, and Qingkailing medication, twice a day, half a packet each time. Two days ago and yesterday, I received intravenous injections of anti-inflammatory drugs andMuxitan. What kind of help is needed to stop the cough and improve appetite?
Answer
Based on the description, it may be suffering from an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis, accompanied by gastrointestinal dysfunction. A detailed physical examination should be conducted for an accurate diagnosis and active treatment. Firstly, it is important to actively control the infection using antibiotics such as levofloxacin. For coughing, medications like cough syrup or Kuaikaihao can be used. When there is a lot of phlegm, drugs likeMuxitan or fresh bamboo juice can be used. For loss of appetite or indigestion, medications such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, multienzyme tablets, or metoclopramide can be used. Pay attention to daily diet, ensure adequate rest, avoid adverse stimuli, and in most cases, symptoms will improve. The specific treatment plan should be followed under the guidance of a clinical doctor.
