Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Persistent dry cough without phlegm, continuous coughing for these days, including at night. Visiting the doctor was not helpful. Also, hasn't had a bowel movement for a week, not eating any soup or drinks, and has a pale complexion. Please advise how to treat this.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the cough in the child is caused by an upper respiratory infection. Aqimycin antiviral oral liquid is used for antiviral treatment. Xinhua Xiaoer Chai Gui Tui Re Granules contain ingredients such as bupleurum and scutellaria, which can reduce inflammation and fight viruses. At the same time, atomization inhalation therapy is being performed to moisten the respiratory tract and reduce the production of mucus in the airways. Drink more water. Do not dress the child in too many layers. Currently, Xiaoer Fei Re Ke Chuan Kou Fu Ye is being taken to clear lung heat, stop coughing, and expel phlegm. It is used for conditions where heat invades the lungs, causing fever, sweating, slight aversion to wind, coughing, yellow phlegm, or accompanied by wheezing and dry mouth. For children aged 1-3, take one tube once a day three times; for children aged 4-7, take one tube once a day four times; for children aged 8-12, take two tubes once a day three times.
