Question
Symptom Description: The child has had a fever for four days, and started coughing two days ago, especially worse after catching a cold. Previous Treatment and Effectiveness: Currently taking Cefamet Pivoxil Powder Suspension and Guaifenesin and Codeine Syrup. Seeking Assistance: Guidance on what medication should be taken is needed.
Answer
If the bronchitis symptoms in the young child are not severe, without fever, normal appetite, and only mild cough, general cold care is sufficient. However, if the child seems listless, has severe coughing, or a fever of 38°C or higher, immediate medical attention should be sought to avoid delaying treatment. To prevent the condition from worsening, the child can be given Fosinex Capsules and some antibiotics. These medications are available at pharmacies. Pay attention to the child’s diet being light and healthy. First and foremost, ensure the child stays warm without being overly dressed and allow them to have appropriate cold resistance training.
