Question
The 10-month-old baby has a fever that has subsided, the rash has also disappeared, but there is still a slight cough. The doctor during the previous visit said that the lung condition was good, but the throat was slightly red. During the second visit, the diagnosis was bronchitis, accompanied by phlegm. The family has cefixime and cef Propylene , as well as Pulmo-Cough syrup, and they are asking which medication to use and the dosage.
Answer
If the baby develops a rash after the fever subsides, it may be infantile roseola, which is typically a viral infection that resolves on its own within 5 to 7 days. However, if there is coughing with phlegm, it could be a secondary bacterial infection. It is recommended to give the baby cef Propylene and Pulmo-Cough syrup orally, and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. If nasal discharge turns yellow, this may be a symptom of the virus infection continuing.
