Patient's question:
Hello, my daughter is 4 years old. She has been coughing since October 2014. Generally, she coughs once in the morning with thick phlegm, and then coughs again every half hour to an hour. The phlegm is very clear. She has been seen by local doctors several times and has taken Cefixime and Cefalexin, but she hasn't gotten better.Doctor's answer:
Consider the possibility of acute bronchitis or pharyngitis. It is recommended to drink more water and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Take anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin or azithromycin, ambroxol tablets, and cough suppressants like cephalexin for treatment. If necessary, go to the hospital for examination, diagnosis, and treatment. There are many triggers that can affect the respiratory system in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
