Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 8 month old baby has been having plenty of 6-7 day courses of antibiotics. He is still coughing. he had amoxcyllin and then azithral 100 and then now the doc has prescribed augmentin for the next 5 days. This has been a continuous 2 month of antibiotics. Is this ok?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent cough which is due to chronic lung infection or bronchitis. Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician/ pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests and x-ray chest aas well to check exact level of infection. . Drink plenty of water. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will booster immunity. You need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug. You should use mist humidifiers in room. You should take cough expectorants as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
