Patient's question:
My child has been coughing for over a month. His cough doesn't sound like a cold, and despite staying in the hospital for six days, it hasn't improved at all. The doctor's diagnosis was bronchitis and tonsillitis. The doctor recommended I take my child to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and prescribed some herbal medicine. It's been four days since I started taking the medicine, and I feel like my cough has gotten worse. It sounds a bit like there's phlegm in it. I'm not sure if this is a sign of improvement or if things are getting worse.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad I can help you. Based on your description and your child's condition, it is suggested that there is a slight sensation of phlegm, which should be a positive sign. During the process of phlegm discharge, the child may feel some relief from the symptoms. Once the phlegm is expelled, it will be better. Drink more water and eat less spicy food. Alternatively, you can coordinate the use of budesonide and terbutaline for. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
