Patient's question:
Recently, the child has coughed again. The baby has been coughing for a long time, and both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have been seen, but there is no improvement. How should I deal with the child's recurrent cough?Doctor's answer:
Hello, central nervous system depressants are generally not suitable for children. Cough medicines for children should be selected with both expectorant and demulcent effects. Syrups are better than tablets. After taking syrup, it adheres to the mucous membrane of the throat, reducing the stimulating effect on the mucous membrane and achieving the purpose of cough suppression itself. Do not dilute with water when taking it, nor do you need to take it with water.Children's ear, nose, and throat diseases can cause significant harm to patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment at a specialized hospital under the guidance of a doctor. Daily exercise is appropriate, but attention should be paid to preventing internal heat. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
