Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old, but he often has a light cough. It just lasts for a short time, and then he starts coughing lightly again the next day. Especially when taking a nap, he coughs very badly and can't sleep well.Doctor's answer:
A child with recurrent cough should be considered for Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection or cough-variant asthma. It is recommended to visit a hospital for Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody testing and bronchodilator test to identify the cause of the cough. If it is Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, erythromycin or azithromycin should be used for treatment. and Chinese medicine treatment can be used in combination.
