Patient's question:
My daughter is over 3 years old. She has had a cough for two or three months. It keeps coming and going without getting better. Even after taking anti-inflammatory and cough medicine, it hasn't improved. Tests have also shown nothing. Especially after eating candy, her cough gets worse. And the more she sleeps, the worse the cough becomes. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent cough and sore throat are common among those who frequently consume snacks, sweets, fried foods, beverages, cold drinks, and milk, as these snacks tend to adhere to the throat and serve as a good medium for various microorganisms. There are many causes of cough, such as urethritis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, tumors, or inflammatory conditions related to the cardiovascular system. It is recommended to visit a hospital promptly for examination, such as a chest CT, to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
