Question

If a child has a severe cough with thick, dark green phlegm, is it enough to just take ceftriaxone?

Answer

A severe cough in children with thick, dark green phlegm may be a symptom of bronchopneumonia caused by a chronic infection. Treatment can include medications such as Kekexian, Xianzhu Jiekou Oral Liquid, or children’s cough syrup, in conjunction with ceftriaxone to control the condition. It is recommended to maintain good dietary and rest habits and to have regular follow-ups.
