Question
A baby who is seven weeks old and weighs fifty jin (about 27.5 kg) is experiencing mild cough, dizziness, and headache. After taking Xiaoer Qicao Oral Liquid, Xiaoer Yanbian Granules, and Ammonium Glycyrrhizate Oral Liquid for an hour, the symptoms recur. What should be done? Is there a risk of serious harm?
Answer
Based on the information provided, the recurrence of dizziness in the baby one hour after taking medication may be due to an excessive amount of medication given or a drug allergy reaction. It is recommended to observe the baby’s condition and encourage them to drink more water to accelerate drug metabolism. If the symptoms continue to worsen, immediate medical attention should be sought without delay. In addition, in the future, it is important to pay attention to the timing of taking both Chinese and Western medications and avoid taking them simultaneously.
