The child is 18 and a half years old. They have been coughing since March 8th. The doctor prescribed cefixime and azithromycin, and their condition improved after two or three days. However, after a week, they started coughing again, and anti-inflammatory medication was used. The cough improved, but it returned after a few days, with the condition fluctuating. The child is in good spirits, eating dinner, and everything else is fine, except for the persistent cough. What could be the reason? Can they take diphenhydramine hydrochloride granules? How much should they take per day, and for how many days?Medical History and Treatment Effects:
