How can I help my child's cough that hasn't been resolved for almost two months?

Patient's question:

About two months of coughing and nasal congestion

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by bronchitis. You need to go to the hospital for tests such as chest X-rays, CT scans, bronchoscopy, and bronchial provocation tests. Treatment includes oral amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium, expectorant, licorice tablets, ketotifen, and traditional Chinese medicine for cough and phlegm relief. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods. Regular exercise and physical conditioning are recommended.
There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents should cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should avoid encouraging picky or fussy eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
