Patient's question:
Cough onset time: Half a month. Test results: Pharyngitis. One-third of the tongue surface lacks epithelium -- the doctor said poor spleen and stomach health? Previous treatment and effectiveness: Severe cough (frequent). Worse at night and in the morning. No high fever. Little (no) phlegm. Please take care to guide me on this. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The child's condition should rule out the possibility of mycoplasma and chlamydia infection, and it's also necessary to consider the presence of allergic cough. It is recommended to check for mycoplasma and chlamydia antibodies and perform a pulmonary function test for the child. Children with geographic tongue often have insufficient spleen and stomach function, which is likely due to zinc deficiency. It can be confirmed through a trace element test. If it is mycoplasma or chlamydia infection, azithromycin can be used for treatment. If it is allergic cough, albuterol aerosol inhalation is required for treatment.
