Patient's question:
Do you cough frequently? You rarely cough at other times; it has been more than a week since the previous treatment and its effectiveness: I went to the nearby clinic for a second prescription and had an injection, but now the medicine is finished, and I still cough in the morning? What kind of assistance do you need: What medicine works quickly?...Doctor's answer:
It's considering the possibility of bronchitis, tonsillitis, or pharyngitis. The inflammation hasn't been fully controlled yet. Suggestions: If medication is ineffective, intravenous treatment is necessary. It's recommended to use intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment, as it allows for higher blood drug concentrations, faster onset, and better efficacy. If there is phlegm, you can try oral Sheng Zhu Li. When parents are caring for the child, they should pay attention to the following aspects: 1. Drink small amounts of water frequently, and avoid very hot water to prevent irritating the throat; 2. During severe coughing, it's best to hold the child upright with their upper body at a 45-degree angle, while gently patting their back to help loosen secretions stuck in the trachea, making it easier to cough them out; 3. Maintain a consistent air temperature, as temperature and cleanliness are very important. The room temperature should ideally remain between 20-26°C, with regular ventilation. The indoor humidity should be around 50%-70%, which helps dissolve mucus and facilitates coughing. Dry air can make mucus stick to the tracheal walls, making it difficult to expel; 4. If coughing is severe at night, slightly elevate the pillow to reduce gastroesophageal reflux and the impact of cold air on the throat.
