Patient's question:
The granddaughter of my colleague is 3 years old this year and coughs frequently. The old couple has been tormented to death. They went to the hospital, but there were no problems. What should the family do when the baby often coughs.Doctor's answer:
Did you notice your child wheezing in addition to coughing? Does the cough have phlegm? If your child coughs frequently, we should consider whether it might be possible that they have cough-variant asthma. This is also a common pediatric illness that we should take seriously.I recommend taking your child to the pediatric department of a hospital for a thorough examination to rule out the possibility of asthma. If it's just a normal cough, there's no need to worry too much—it could be that your child has a weaker constitution and is prone to catching coughs. Pay attention to strengthening your child's immunity, avoid taking them to crowded places, and ensure good ventilation indoors. When they cough, you can give them Ertanjing (a cough syrup), which is quite effective.
Currently, the most important thing is to first rule out the possibility of asthma. I hope my explanation brings you some relief.
