How to deal with a child's cough that hasn't been cured for half a year

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. What should I do if my child's cough hasn't gone away for half a year?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is related to chronic infection and physical weakness. You need to seek treatment at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for syndrome differentiation and herbal regulation, increase nutrition, supplement vitamins and trace elements, maintain a relaxed mood, and pay attention to rest. You can take Yu Ping Feng San and Xiao Qing Long Jiaonang. The main consideration is that the fever symptoms are caused by a viral infection. It is recommended that you have a complete blood count test to assist in diagnosis. If the antiviral effect is poor, you can appropriately use anti-inflammatory drugs, which may be more effective. The characteristics of viral infection are that it is prone to repeated high fever. Viruses generally stop replicating within a week. Do not be too nervous. Drink more water, pay attention to rest, and if your temperature is below 38.5, you can use forehead cold compresses for physical cooling. If the temperature is higher, you can use fever-reducing medication. Fever is a process, and if you have other abnormalities in your spirit or condition, you should seek medical treatment promptly.
