Question
The two-year-old has a cough without phlegm, occasional stomach pain, and throws up after eating milk. The child has slightly reduced energy and appetite, cries during deep sleep. The stool is rough, and there has been a slight weight loss for four days. The child has started to have a high fever and later developed cough symptoms. Previous treatment and effects: The child has taken Guaibao Baby Lung Clearing Granules and ceftriaxone anti-inflammatory medication without improvement. Do they need to take any other medication? Is there a possibility of gastrointestinal flu? Could the fever have caused intestinal dysfunction?
Answer
It is recommended to take Shanmai Jianpi Oral Liquid to aid absorption, while also taking Huoxiang Pouji, and avoid overeating to let the stomach and intestines rest. Drink plenty of water. It is best to undergo intravenous treatment as oral medications are more likely to cause dry heaves, especially for drugs with strong gastrointestinal reactions. Additionally, it is best to include antibiotic treatment.
