Question

The child fell ill five days ago (from the 16th to the 21st), initially with vomiting, followed by fever, and the treatment was not effective. The doctor diagnosed it as pneumonia, but the symptoms did not subside and diarrhea appeared. Ask if a child without coughing can have pneumonia and how to handle it.

Answer

The child has no more fever or vomiting, but the pneumonia symptoms have not completely disappeared, showing signs of listlessness, drowsiness, and restlessness. It is recommended to use pediatric lung heat cough syrup, which is a commonly used auxiliary medicine for treating pediatric pneumonia and bronchitis. When used in combination with azithromycin, it can enhance efficacy, reduce antibiotic resistance, and shorten the course of treatment. In addition, the medicine is suitable for the consolidation stage of pneumonia and bronchitis treatment and helps prevent influenza.
