Patient's question:
Doctor, my child just started coughing and it's not as normal as usual. We've been using inhalers and taking traditional Chinese medicine, but it hasn't worked for five days. Later, when we went to the hospital, the white blood cell count was high, and they've been transfusing for a week now, but there's still some coughing, though it's less. The doctor said it's spasmodic cough. What should we do? It's been almost twenty days now. Can you think of a way to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Exclude inflammatory cough, some mild cough without phlegm may relieve with impact. It may not be excluded if allergic cough is present. It is recommended to go to the hospital for prenatal check-up, comprehensive physical examination to let the doctor listen, and if necessary, undergo a detailed chest examination. If there are no major issues, mild cough without phlegm can consider adding anti-allergic cough medicine. Specific treatment should be determined based on follow-up examination. The above advice is for the question "How should my child's spasmodic cough be treated?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
