Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Can a cough with a slight scratch in the throat be endured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is usually a dry cough with intermittent coughing, and other symptoms are mild. Generally, coughing tends to worsen at night. It is recommended to take antibiotics that target mycoplasma, such as azithromycin, along with Wind-Cough Syrup, Scutellariae Radix and Bupleurum, and avoid getting cold or windy at night. There are many triggers that can affect the respiratory system in children. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
