Patient's question:
Change, children love to cough, a little snot. When the weather changes, children love to cough, a little snot. Previous treatment and effectiveness: It is said that using 30 grams of hair root and 30 grams of reed root, and cutting 15 grams of base according to the location as a set of torment can be cured, is it true? What kind of coordination...Doctor's answer:
A protective irradiation can enhance the expulsion of sputum and foreign matter, but severe and frequent coughing can cause discomfort to the patient and lead to complications. Antitussive drugs exert their effect by directly inhibiting the cough center in the medulla oblongata or by suppressing a specific link in the cough reflex arc, such as dextromethorphan, pertussin, and codeine. Mucolytics are two types of drugs that make sputum thinner or dissolve it, making it easier to cough out. The removal of sputum can increase the impact on the respiratory tract mucosa, indirectly providing some antitussive and bronchodilatory effects, helping to suppress secondary infections. Examples include acetylcysteine and bromhexine.Medical advice: Coughing caused by fever is primarily a manifestation of pharyngeal, tracheal, and bronchial inflammation resulting from viral or bacterial infections. It is also the last symptom to disappear with fever, and in some patients, coughing can last for as long as a month. On the basis of routine use of antiviral and antibacterial medications for treatment, the cough symptoms should gradually subside.
Your child is still coughing, and if it is not severe, it is recommended not to use lung-cleansing drugs. Instead, you can use drugs with hemostatic effects, such as Chuanbei Xueli Gao, to promote the expulsion of sputum, which will help reduce cough symptoms. You can also use hemostatic drugs like licorice tablets, which you are currently using, to promote sputum expulsion. Additionally, it is advised to discontinue the use of antibiotics.
