Patient's question:
The granddaughter of my colleague is 3 years old this year and keeps coughing. The old couple has been tormented to death. They went to the hospital, but there was nothing wrong with the baby. What should the family do when the baby often coughs.Doctor's answer:
Did you notice your child wheezing in addition to coughing? Is there any phlegm in their cough? If your child coughs frequently, we should consider whether it might be possible that they have cough-variant asthma. This is also a common childhood illness that we should take seriously.It is recommended to have your child examined by a pediatrician at the hospital to rule out the possibility of asthma. If it is just a common cough, there is no need to worry too much. It may be that your child has a weaker constitution and is prone to catching coughs. Pay attention to strengthening your child's immunity, avoid taking them to crowded places, and ensure good ventilation in the room. When they cough, you can give them Ertan (a cough suppressant), which is quite effective.
Currently, the most important thing is to rule out the possibility of asthma. I hope my explanation brings you some relief.
