Patient's question:
My baby is three years and two months old. She often suffers from coughing, with a wheezing sound. Sometimes she doesn't cough at all throughout the day, while at other times she coughs severely at night. Sometimes her cough seems as if she can't catch her breath, and sometimes it even causes vomiting. She coughs very hard and struggles. We have been giving her Hai Dou Coconut Oral Liquid, but it hasn't been very effective. Should she take medication? If so, what kind? What should I do? Please reply, thank you!Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, considering the baby's cough is likely caused by a respiratory infection, it would be better to add anti-inflammatory medication. Currently, the main focus should be on whether bronchitis has developed.You can go to the hospital for auscultation and examination. If it's bronchitis, intravenous treatment is considered more effective. Drink plenty of warm water and avoid getting cold.
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 immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
