Patient's question:
The child is over 18 years old. Eight months ago, they had pneumonia and were discharged from the hospital. It has been half a month since then, but the cough has not disappeared. It is particularly severe in the morning and evening. Today, I took a picture of my throat with my phone and noticed two or three white things inside the throat, each about 1mm in diameter. I want to ask if it could be tonsillitis, and if these white things are the cause of the cough. The cough does not occur very frequently, only once or twice a day, but each coughing episode lasts for a long time. Sometimes there is phlegm, and sometimes it is a light cough.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for coughing. It is best to let the doctor listen and examine. Tonsillitis usually causes symptoms such as high fever and sore throat. Coughing is mostly due to tracheal inflammation. It is recommended that you take good care of the baby, give the baby more water to drink, and pay attention to a light diet, avoiding greasy foods. It is best to let the doctor listen and examine to prescribe medication accordingly. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
