Question
A 1-year-7-month-old child has been continuously discharging yellow mucus from the nose for two weeks, accompanied by three days of coughing with phlegm, and a large amount of eye discharge. The child has a history of bilateral pneumonia treatment. The parents are seeking guidance on how to manage these symptoms and whether there is a way to treat them.
Answer
Based on the description, the symptoms may be caused by sequelae of pneumonia, with common pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and mycoplasma. The possibility of bacterial infection is relatively high, and active treatment is required. It is recommended that parents take the child to a pediatrician for a physical examination, undergo intravenous drip administration of antibiotics such as ceftriaxone sodium, and simultaneously take oral medications like cough syrup. In addition, precautions should be taken to prevent cross-infection, maintain warmth, and eat a light diet.
