Patient's question:
Time: December 27, 2018 - January 3, 2019, returning home in the evening, at that time suffering from double lung pneumonia. After finishing the infusion, the condition improved and I was discharged from the hospital. On the evening of January 5, I had already started fevering with a high temperature of 39 degrees. From January 5 to 7, the fever subsided in the evenings. On the 8th, I went to the children's hospital for a blood test, which still showed a viral infection. On the morning of the 9th, I had already started coughing again. Drinking some lung-cleansing tea made it slightly better. On the morning of the 10th, even after sleeping well, I was still coughing. What is going on? Why does it keep coming back and forth?Doctor's answer:
Cough is a protective reflex of the body and a physiological phenomenon of the baby. The human body can completely remove viruses, toxins, foreign bodies, or inflammatory secretions, including phlegm, from the airways through coughing. If the cough is not severe, does not interfere with deep sleep or daily activities, does not cause fever, there are no rales in the lungs, and the mental state is good, then it is not a problem. The above is advice for the question "Is it better to sleep or cough? What's going on?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
