Patient's question:
My baby is 2 years old and has had a cough for half a month. I have taken them to the hospital for detailed check-ups many times, and they all said it was pharyngitis. For the inhalation treatment, it has been done for 5 days, but there is still some cough with phlegm. The day before yesterday, a blood test showed it wasn't pneumonia. How come it hasn't gotten better after so long? I am taking medicine every day. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The baby has been coughing for half a month, but the medication hasn't completely stabilized the condition. Detailed examinations have been conducted, and pneumonia can basically be ruled out. It is recommended to feed the baby more water, take expectorant and cough-relieving medication for treatment, and pay attention to preventing colds to avoid catching a cold. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my baby has been coughing for half a month?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
