Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please tell me why the child has a severe cough and sometimes vomits?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms of cough you described, such as night cough and the urge to vomit after coughing, it is possible that the infection is caused by Mycoplasma. It is recommended to conduct a Mycoplasma test. If the test is positive, treatment with azithromycin combined with cough and phlegm-relieving medications is necessary.Children can be given some mung bean soup or mung bean porridge. Mung beans are cold in nature and sweet in taste, capable of cooling and detoxifying, clearing heat and relieving irritability. They are most suitable for children who are irritable and restless.
2. Multiple children can eat some fruits, such as pomelos and pears. They are cold in nature and slightly sour, capable of clearing heat and moisturizing the respiratory system. They are particularly suitable for children with lung heat cough, yellow phlegm, dry and painful throats.
Water chestnuts: They are slightly cold in nature and rich in juice. They are very suitable for children who still feel irritable and thirsty after a heat-related illness, with symptoms such as mouth and tongue ulcers, constipation, and yellow urine.
