Patient's question:
In the past week or so, the child has been coughing badly at night. Sometimes, they vomit the food they ate at dinner, and at other times, they spit out a couple of sticky sputum. After vomiting, they sleep very soundly. Initially, we thought it was because of overeating at dinner, but they also vomit even when they don't eat much for dinner. There is no sign of wheezing. Before, they had a cold with a runny nose, followed by coughing, and now it has become severe nighttime coughing. The child just started attending kindergarten, and they don't eat enough during the day at school, so they might eat more when they come home.Doctor's answer:
The cough phenomenon you mentioned in the child may be caused by possible urethritis. It is also a relatively common disease in childhood. It is recommended that you first give the child small children's cefixime granules and small children's phlegm-removing and cough-relieving granules for a few days, as the treatment effect is relatively good. In this way, the child's cough symptoms will gradually improve. During the treatment period, pay attention to making the child drink plenty of water. Wish the child a speedy recovery.
