Patient's question:
Coughing, trachea inflammation, a wheezing sound in the throat, and slightly runny nose. How to solve it?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of whooping cough is infection. If coughing is frequent or lasts less than three days, a urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection. Based on the test results, medication should be administered accordingly. The doctor may listen to the lungs or take a chest X-ray to check for bronchitis or even pneumonia. If pneumonia is present, oral medication may not be effective, and intravenous fluid treatment will be required. It is also important to pay attention to prolonged coughing. If the child has a history of allergies, it should be checked whether it could be allergic cough.
