Patient's question:
For about a week now, the first few days had a lot of phlegm, with some coughing. I took Snake Gland and Fritillaria Fluid for three days, but the effect was not significant. I went to the clinic, and the doctor prescribed Cephalexin and Lung Relieving and Cough Stopping Granules, which I took for three days, but the effect was still not significant. Today, I have nasal congestion and a runny nose. Every morning when I wake up, there is noticeable phlegm, and I cough so hard that I feel like vomiting.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be caused by bronchitis and requires treatment with antibiotics, hormones, antihistamines, antivirals, and traditional Chinese medicine. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods that are irritating. Regular exercise and physical conditioning are also necessary. There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their children develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
