A 2.5-year-old child with influenza for the sixth day, constantly coughing - what's going on?

Patient's question:

At 2.5 years old, my child has had the flu for six days, has been fever-free for four days, and has been coughing for the past two days. When will they get better? Are they getting better now? Can they take a bath these days?

Doctor's answer:

This can be used for a bath, but it is necessary to pay attention to the room temperature. It is essential to be cautious of cold and prevent the possibility of catching a cold. Cough may persist for a week. It is recommended to focus on medication treatment and observe carefully. Be cautious of cold and prevent catching a cold to avoid the condition worsening. If you cannot hear the sound of the baby's wheezing or breathing, it indicates that the condition is improving. If the baby has a cough with a lot of phlegm, it is necessary to be cautious of bronchitis or pneumonia, and inhalation with a nebulizer may be required when necessary.
