Patient's question:
Coughing for two days. A few days ago, I had a cold and got an intravenous drip, which got better, but now I'm coughing again. How can I make it better quickly?Doctor's answer:
When a child has an upper respiratory infection, the nasal mucosa is already inflamed. If they inhale dry air, it will make their nasal discomfort worse and may even worsen coughing. Therefore, it is important to keep the room air moist at all times. Methods such as using a humidifier, hanging damp towels, mopping the floor with water, or placing a basin of water in the room can help increase the humidity. If the child's cough and nasal congestion symptoms persist for a week without improvement, it is advisable to take them to see a doctor as soon as possible. Wishing the baby a healthy growth.
