Patient's question:
Medical history: None. Started coughing badly yesterday morning, about fifteen to ten minutes. In the morning, I went to the clinic and received an intravenous drip. It improved somewhat during the day and night. This morning, the cough is particularly severe, lasting about 15 to 20 minutes. It feels like the lungs are about to cough out. During intense coughing, there is a symptom of dry vomiting.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Since the Spring Festival, I have had a cold. About ten days ago, I had lower lung infection and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. I received an intravenous drip for a week, which improved after five or six days, but then the cough returned along with fever.
What kind of help I need: I want to consult about the cause, or whether to continue with the intravenous drip.
Doctor's answer:
Children in such condition are mostly caused by catching a cold or respiratory infections. If the situation is severe, it is not ruled out that it could be due to lung heat. You can drink Banlangen or other series of heat-clearing and detoxifying herbal tea, which can help with prevention and health care. Additionally, it is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and drink plenty of water to help the body dissipate heat and moisturize the throat, which can reduce the recurrence of cough. It is also important to rest more in bed and exercise more in daily life to enhance the body's immunity and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
