Patient's question:
What is the reason for my child's frequent coughing. It starts with dry cough. After a couple of days, it will have phlegm. Treatment history and effectiveness: Taking medicine for two or three days will make it better, but it will cough again after a few days. What kind of help do you want: Want to get better quickly and avoid repeated coughing.Doctor's answer:
No matter what kind of cough it is, it is important to actively encourage the baby to drink water and not wait until they are thirsty to remember to drink. If the baby drinks enough water, it can help dissolve thick secretions, making them easier to cough out. If cough medicine is given every time the baby coughs, the cough may be suppressed, but this can make it harder for the mucus to be expelled afterward. As a result, it may block the airways, not only failing to relieve the cough but also potentially leading to lung infections. Therefore, in the early stages of a child's cough, it is best to start with mucus relief treatment.
