Patient's question:
A 9-year-old child often coughs, similar to tonsillitis, and has phlegm that is yellow and accompanied by hiccups.Treatment history and effectiveness: The child has taken anti-inflammatory medication for a period of time, but it hasn’t improved. They have also been using saline nasal rinses.
Help needed: What could be the cause?
Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to rest, always maintain fresh air and appropriate temperature and humidity, provide absorbent food, drink plenty of water, and change positions frequently to facilitate phlegm discharge. Treatment is based on suppressing infection and symptomatic therapy. For children with chronic cough that doesn't improve with treatment and for initial cases of pediatric cough, the method is highly effective, with the vast majority fully recovered after a single application. The above suggestions are for the question "What causes frequent coughing in children?" and are hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
