Patient's question:
The child is four years old and has been coughing recently. It usually happens when they are just about to fall asleep at night, and they cough non-stop, as if something is stuck in their throat. Even while sleeping, their throat makes a snoring-like sound. This has been going on for half a month. A few days ago, they took her to get saline irrigation and some medicine, but nothing has helped. Please ask the doctor how to treat it.History of treatment and medications:
Saline irrigation and some anti-inflammatory, lung-moistening, and cough-relieving medications.
Doctor's answer:
Mild infections can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. For cough or phlegm, you can take Fresh Bamboo Juice Oral Liquid or Xia'er Mahagan Granules for treatment. In severe cases, intravenous infusion is recommended. It is also necessary to be alert to mycoplasma infections. If mycoplasma infection is suspected, intravenous erythromycin injection or oral azithromycin dry suspension should be used. Rest is important. If there is fever, use antipyretic drugs for symptomatic treatment.
