Question
The child has a fever, coughs, becomes irritable during feeding, refuses to eat, and has a runny nose. They have previously been treated with antipyretic and cough syrup. I hope to receive some advice.
Answer
Based on the description, the child’s symptoms of fever, cough, refusal to eat, irritability, and runny nose may indicate bronchitis caused by a cold. It is recommended to consult a doctor for lung auscultation and routine blood tests to determine the cause. If necessary, a chest X-ray can be conducted to assist in diagnosis. Depending on the diagnosis, appropriate antibiotics and pulmonary cooling and blood-cooling medications can be used for treatment, such as amoxicillin, cephalosporins, metronidazole, ribavirin, Yanhuning, ambroxol, or bromhexine.
