Patient's question:
On the 15th, I was admitted to the hospital for nine days due to a cough that had lasted for a week. It was diagnosed as a second-level neuron pulmonary infection with wheezing, and it was also said to be allergic airway asthma. After several days of treatment in the hospital, there was no improvement, so the doctor asked us to sell 6 bottles of globulin, which significantly improved before discharge. However, a week after discharge, I started coughing again and wheezing, with obvious wheezing sounds in my trachea. What kind of assistance is needed:Hello, what exactly is this disease? And it occurs so frequently—how can we prevent it and treat it?
Doctor's answer:
If the child shows symptoms of fever or coughing up thick mucus, or if the chest X-ray reveals lung shadows or a decrease in white blood cell count, it may be considered that the infectious treatment was not thorough enough, leading to repeated occurrences. Wheezing may also be caused by bronchospasm due to infection.Recommendation: If the child has no symptoms of infection but only exhibits wheezing or coughing, it may be asthma. Treatment should be based on asthma management. Considering that your child was recently diagnosed with pneumonia a week ago, even without fever, it is still possible that the coughing is due to increased reflex coughing after pneumonia. It is recommended to start with cough relief treatment for a period, such as taking Cough Syrup for light cough without phlegm, or taking Fritillaria and Loquat Paste for cough with phlegm.
