What are the reasons for children's coughs

Patient's question:

What causes a child's cough at night

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the cough symptoms are generally considered to be caused by a cold. It is usually necessary to see a doctor for a definitive diagnosis of whether the infection is viral or bacterial. Blood tests can be performed to preliminarily determine whether the infection is viral or bacterial.
If it is a viral cold, there is no specific medication. It is recommended to take Xiao'er Fei Rè Ke Chuán Kǒu Yè Yè, which has the effects of clearing heat, resolving phlegm, and relieving cough and wheezing. It is effective for cold-related fever and cough, and it is safe to take, so you can use it with confidence.
You can also boil white radish in water, let it cool, and then add a moderate amount of honey before drinking together. It has a good cough-relieving effect.
It is recommended that you prepare several dishes each time, with smaller portions, so that the child only eats a few bites of each kind.
