What should I do if my child has persistent coughing?

Patient's question:

When I go to sleep at night, the cough stops, but during the day, I experience dry cough symptoms. It's said that there's phlegm in my throat. I went to the children's hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by a cold. They prescribed some medicine, and after taking it, my condition improved. However, after stopping it for a week or so, it returned to its old state. I even tried eating snow pears stewed with Fritillaria, but it didn't help.

Doctor's answer:

It is my pleasure to clarify the confusion about healthcare technology for you. Clearly, your baby's condition suffers from a wind-cold type of cold, which has persisted for a long time and may spread to the urethra, causing local inflammation in the lungs. In summary, for your situation, treatment should focus on relieving cough and wheezing, as well as tonifying the body. Under the guidance of a local pharmacist, you can take Mahuang Shegan Decoction. Additionally, you can feed your baby some lean meat soup to tonify the body. Wishing your baby happiness and health!
The above advice is for the question "Why does my child's dry cough not improve?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
