Patient's question:
My 8-year-old nephew always coughs a lot, but since he has tight practice schedules, he usually goes to the hospital after school. After getting his IV drip, he only has time to finish his homework, and it gets very late, so he doesn’t get proper rest. What kind of food is good for a child with a cough, and how should it be treated? What kind of assistance is needed: Are there any good home remedies for treating a cough?Doctor's answer:
