Patient's question:
The child is still coughing. This afternoon, blood tests were done, and it was said that everything is fine. Could you please ask the doctor to take another look? I’m wondering if it’s caused by pharyngitis or allergies. The doctor prescribed Azithromycin again and said we could take it. Is that okay? I also bought some pharyngitis tablets and rock cabbage. Can I take those? I’m also planning to give her an antiviral oral liquid and cold medicine. The child’s voice is still a bit hoarse now. Please advise the doctor, thank you!Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the condition and the blood test results, there is a high possibility of cough-variant asthma. It is recommended to take your child to the pediatric department of the hospital for a chest X-ray to help confirm the diagnosis and treatment. Oral carbocisteine oral solution, oral dextromethorphan oral solution, and montelukast sodium tablets can be used for treatment. Drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid getting chilled.
