Patient's question:
The baby is three years old, a girl. Recently, for over a month, she has been experiencing recurrent colds and coughs. Even after taking medicine, her throat gets phlegmy again within a few days, and she starts coughing. What could be the reason? She is in good spirits, eats dinner well, and has bowel movements. If it's necessary to take her to the hospital, what kind of tests should be done?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the repeated occurrence of respiratory infection symptoms in your child suggests that your child has relatively poor immunity. On the one hand, when symptoms are severe, it is important to seek follow-up medical attention at the local pediatric department for thorough examination and treatment. On the other hand, in daily life, attention should be paid to reducing your child's immunity. The correct way to handle your child's poor immunity is as follows: provide sufficient nutrition, encourage your child to engage in physical exercise, ensure adequate deep sleep, and avoid using antibiotics arbitrarily.
