How to treat a 5-year-old child's cough for three weeks

Patient's question:

A 5-and-a-half-year-old boy, coughing intermittently for three weeks. He coughs in fits at midnight every night, quite severely, and then stops coughing after a good night's sleep. He coughs less during the day. He has difficulty breathing through his nose.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it's too frequent to change the medication for the child. It's not like treating the child. If penicillin is not suitable, erythromycin is not suitable, and there are excessive gastrointestinal reactions, then do not give the child medication. You can focus on taking cephraxin and Pulmicort syrup. Pay attention to enhancing care for the child, preventing colds and cold exposure, and avoid contact with many people who have colds. Wishing the child good health.
