Patient's question:
Symptom Description: It's just a runny nose, plus a bit of coughing. The cough is intermittent? It seems to be due to catching a cold from air conditioning.Past Treatment and Effect: There have been no such problems.
Help Needed: Is drinking brown sugar water helpful?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it seems that your child likely caught a cold due to air conditioning. I recommend giving your child more water to drink. If oral medication is needed, you can give them Lianhua Qingye Granules for children. If the cough is severe, you may also need to give them anti-inflammatory medication along with Ambroxol Oral Solution.According to your description, it is possible that your child may have tracheitis or pneumonia. I suggest giving your child more water to drink, avoiding exposure to cold, and gently patting their back to help expel phlegm. It is also recommended to take your child to the hospital for a blood test to check for abnormalities. The doctor should listen to your child's trachea and lungs. If it is determined that the infection is bacterial, oral antibiotics and cough/expectorant medications will be needed, along with nebulization treatment.
