Patient's question:
During the day, there are sneezes, but less coughing. At night, coughing is accompanied by teeth grinding. There's a sound like boiling water bubbling in the throat. When he coughs, this sound disappears, but it returns within two seconds after coughing, so he coughs non-stop at night. No fever. No abnormal sounds in the lungs. He has been complaining of stomach pain recently and suspects he might have worms. He hasn't taken any deworming medication, though the doctor prescribed Furoxone, Amoxicillin chewable tablets, and Diprofen. None of these have worked. What should he do? I've also tried boiling pears with Fritillaria, but it hasn't helped either. I'm at my wit's end. Should he take deworming medication? Is it a good idea to do so in winter? I really hope you can help me. Thank you so much.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby suffers from an upper respiratory infection, which is mostly caused by bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections in the respiratory tract. The baby's abdominal pain is due to mesenteric lymphadenitis. It is recommended that the baby undergo an abdominal ultrasound to check how much the mesenteric lymph nodes are swollen. It is also recommended that the baby take Xuanlu Powder for Children, Qingke Pingchuan Granules, and Xiaojī Qingfei Oral Liquid, while paying attention to a light diet. The above suggestions are for the question "How to relieve a child's cough at night?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
