Why is a 2.5-year-old boy coughing?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Why is my two-and-a-half-year-old boy coughing persistently?

Doctor's answer:

You can take Cefixime granules or Cefuroxime granules for treatment. If necessary, you can choose to receive intramuscular injections of antibiotics. For cough or phlegm, you can take Erythromycin granules and Mucosolvan for combined treatment. If the effect is not satisfactory, you can choose to receive intravenous infusion of antibiotics.
For bronchitis, the first step is to control inflammation, which means taking anti-inflammatory drugs. This usually takes about 5-7 days. However, even after the inflammation is resolved, coughing may still persist for some time. You can drink some syrup at this time. At the same time, you should pay attention to a light diet and eat more foods that are good for soothing the lungs.
