Question
What treatment suggestions are there for a 2-year-old child who repeatedly has a fever, coughs, and wheezes?
Answer
Doctors suggest that this condition may be caused by a tracheal infection or pneumonia. It is important to seek medical attention promptly for a physical examination and possibly imaging tests to confirm the diagnosis. For mild infections, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be taken; for symptoms of coughing or excessive phlegm, fresh bamboo decoction oral liquid or children’s Mahan Gan granules can be used. In severe cases, intravenous fluid therapy may be required. Additionally, it is also possible that it is caused by mycoplasma infection, and if diagnosed as such, treatment may require the use of erythromycin or azithromycin antibiotics.
