Question
A week ago, my baby had a runny nose and was on medication like Haodaobao and anti-inflammatory drugs, and was almost recovered. However, recently, the baby has started coughing with a hoarse voice and there’s a whistling sound in the throat.
Answer
Condition Analysis: Hello, it is recommended to consult a doctor for a physical examination and imaging to confirm the diagnosis. If necessary, a film examination should be conducted. Guidance: Wangshi Baohu Wan can be taken. If the infection is mild, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be taken. For cough or phlegm in the throat, Fresh Bamboo Decoction Oral Liquid or Children’s Mahan Gan Granules can be used for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous fluid therapy is recommended. Also, be aware that it may be caused by mycoplasma infection. If diagnosed as mycoplasma infection, Red Mold Injection or oral Azithromycin Dry Suspension can be used for treatment.
