How to deal with a baby's cough that never seems to go away

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 2 years old.
Main symptoms: 1. Dry cough at night when sleeping and in the morning when waking up, sometimes with phlegm.
2. No coughing during the day without strenuous exercise.
3. The child has been coughing for over a month.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation should be caused by mycoplasma infection or bronchopneumonia. It is recommended to take cough-relieving medication such as Qingzhu Li Koufu Oral Liquid combined with antibiotics like azithromycin for treatment. If the symptoms are severe, intravenous treatment may be necessary. Please drink more water and the condition will gradually improve. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should avoid letting the child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
