The child has been coughing for about a week, what should I do?

Patient's question:

The child has been coughing for about a week, only coughing a few times in the morning when getting up, and not coughing during the day or at night. Is there any good treatment method? I really don't want them to take medicine...

Doctor's answer:

According to your description of the condition, if the child has been coughing for a week, the first thing to consider is whether it is caused by a viral or bacterial infection? Based on your description of the condition, I suggest that you, as parents, take time to take your child to the pediatric department of a major hospital in your area for a follow-up visit. Have your child's blood drawn for a complete blood count test, and also have a chest X-ray taken to check. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
