Patient's question:
Mild cough for a few days, coughing during the day, took a little medicine.Previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help do you need: My son is one year and two months old. He has a mild cough during the day and a bit of coughing during naps. What's going on? What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Guidance: First, it is still necessary to consider the possibility of bronchitis, tonsillitis, or pharyngitis. Coughing becomes softer during deep sleep, which should be related to the breathing obstruction caused by the posture during a nap and the impact of cold air. It is best to take oral antibiotics. If the oral medication is not effective, it is recommended to receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. For severe nighttime coughing, slightly elevate the pillow to reduce gastroesophageal reflux and the impact of cold air on the throat.
