Question
The baby has a cough with a whistling sound, mild, has had acute laryngitis before, is now five years old, has no fever, and only has a slight cough. I went to the hospital and the doctor prescribed nebulizer medication: Budesonide Suspension for inhalation, Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules, Cefpodoxime Proxetil Suspension, and Feli-Cough Mixture. I want to know if Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules are necessary? Are there any side effects, and how many days should I take them for?
Answer
There is phlegm with the cough, which is still due to catching a cold. There is inflammation in the respiratory tract. It’s still necessary to treat it promptly. Oseltamivir is an antiviral medication that can be taken with other drugs. It can be taken continuously for five days to observe the condition. If it improves, you can stop taking it.
