Patient's question:
The baby has been coughing every night for these past few days, with only one or two coughs during the day. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and diagnosed it as whooping cough syndrome. They prescribed some medication, but it hasn't shown any improvement. What else can be done?Doctor's answer:
Considering the child may have some upper respiratory tract inflammation, it's important to pay attention to preventive measures against catching colds by avoiding exposure to cold. Do not let the child eat spicy or irritating foods, and avoid grilled and puffed foods. Strengthen personal safety defenses, and wear masks when going out to prevent contact with people who have colds. Recovery from the illness takes time. If symptoms do not improve after taking medication, it is recommended that you visit a larger hospital for follow-up treatment. Improve the medical records and get a clear diagnosis, then follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. Wishing you good health.
