Patient's question:
For the past two or three days, I've been coughing while sleeping and it's been quite severe.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the key to treating children's cough is to identify the cause of the cough. Generally, mild and infrequent coughing helps to expel mucus. After the mucus is expelled, the cough often naturally subsides, so there is no need to use cough suppressants. Severe and frequent coughing is very harmful to the body. For severe dry cough, cough-suppressing medication such as codeine syrup can be used for a short period to help alleviate the cough.
