Patient's question:
What's wrong with the child always coughing?Current general condition: Occasionally coughs a few times a day, a bit yellow in complexion, normal diet
Doctor's answer:
Hello, cough itself is not an independent disease but a defensive response to clear foreign objects from the respiratory tract. A mild cough is harmless to the body and can be treated by addressing the cause without the need for cough suppressants. However, when a severe cough causes suffering to the patient, cough suppressants can be used appropriately.There are many causes of cough, such as acute or chronic respiratory inflammation, foreign bodies in the respiratory tract, compression of the respiratory tract, allergic reactions, pleural irritation, and so on. Therefore, when a patient has a cough, it is essential to first comprehensively analyze the condition and identify the cause. Based on treating the underlying cause, appropriate cough suppressants should be selected to provide symptomatic treatment.
Medications such as Xiao'er Ke Chuan Ling granules and Chuan Bei Qing Fei syrups can be used.
