Why does the cough not get better? What illness is it?

Patient's question:

One month ago, I had a cold and went to the hospital twice, which showed improvement. Now, it's just that I cough a few times at night while sleeping, and I'm fine during the day. His cough is without phlegm, and there's no clear nasal discharge.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if it is confirmed that you have bronchitis, you can generally consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Traditional Chinese medicine and herbal treatments have unique advantages in treating bronchitis. Common formulas include Xiao Qing Long Tang (Little Blue Dragon Decoction) and Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang (Hemp and Gypsum Decoction), among others. Alternatively, you can use traditional Chinese patent medicines such as Tong Xuan Li Fei Wan (Promote Lung Qi and Resolve Phlegm Pills) and Qi Guang Wan (Bronchitis Pills). You should quit smoking.

The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
