Patient's question:
Not feeling well, diet is okay, deep sleep is average. Diarrhea, slightly yellow urine, no weight change. First coughed, then fevered. Now no fever but still coughing heavily for two days and two nights. The doctor said it's allergic cough and the medicine has little effect. Previous treatment and effectiveness: viral fever, took antiviral Western medicine for three days, Chinese cough syrup and decoction. What kind of assistance is needed: the child is three years old, coughing heavily for two days and two nights, the doctor said it's allergic cough, the lungs and trachea are not contagious. I want to ask how to stop the cough.Doctor's answer:
Allergic cough is clinically referred to as cough-variant asthma, which is a hidden form of asthma characterized primarily by cough.Guidance: Avoid exposure to allergens, actively treat and completely eliminate infectious foci, and remove various triggering factors such as smoking, paint fumes, cold beverages, and abrupt climate changes. During recurrence, medications can be used to relieve bronchial smooth muscle spasm, reduce airway mucosal edema and inflammation, and increase mucus excretion. Cough tablets (e.g., promethazine) can be taken.
Lifestyle Management: Pay attention to preventing fever in children and avoid strenuous physical activities.
