Patient's question:
A child started coughing after being born less than three months and then developed asthma. Initially, it occurred once a month, but now it happens almost every week. A slight cold can trigger coughing, sometimes non-stop for an hour. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's mucus, and other times there isn't. The child doesn't sleep well at night, tossing and turning in bed, and often grinds their teeth.Doctor's answer:
Considering the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, you can take medications such as clarithromycin dispersible tablets and ciprofloxacin tablets. If there is phlegm, you can also try taking fresh bamboo juice orally, and use Huasu tablets for throat soothing. It is also important to speak as little as possible, avoid spicy foods, drink more water, and you can drink honeysuckle tea. There are many triggers that can cause respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
