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 you please tell me if it's okay to endure a cough with a slightly itchy throat?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 cold and cough syrup, and Scutellariae Radix. Avoid getting cold or windy at night.There are many triggers that can affect a child's respiratory system. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
