Patient's question:
How to deal with a 4-year-old child coughing all day long? They have received injections for 3 days and taken medicine. X-rays showed pneumonia, and the doctor said it would take time to recover. But now they are still coughing all day long. It hurts him, and it makes us sad to listen to him. Is there any solution?Doctor's answer:
Mostly, cough is caused by inflammation due to upper respiratory infections. It is advisable to use some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs in combination with a mucus-thinning agent such as for treatment. If the cough is severe, the baby can be encouraged to inhale steam; moist air helps to thoroughly clear the lungs' mucus and calm the cough. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my 4-year-old child coughs all day long?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
