What department should a child with a cough and shortness of breath go to?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. What department should I go to for my child's cough and shortness of breath?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, if the child has a cough and shortness of breath, you can see a pediatric department. Actively use anti-inflammatory or bronchodilator medications and avoid the child catching a cold. There are many triggers that can cause respiratory problems in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
