Patient's question:
Child had high fever two weeks ago and went to the hospital for intravenous fluids. A week ago, the fever subsided, and the diagnosis was tracheitis with viral and bacterial infection. It has been accompanied by coughing with phlegm for a while, and has been wheezing recently. What should be done? What medicine should be taken? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Most cases of children's cough are caused by cold exposure, infections in the trachea or lungs, or consuming overly cold food. Children have weaker spleen and stomach functions, so they should avoid cold and cool foods to prevent the condition from worsening and lingering. Conversely, for children's cold-induced cough, proper dietary regulation can often yield twice the result with half the effort.It is recommended to take E Oral Solution, a compound preparation containing clenbuterol, to treat cough, thick mucus, difficult sputum expulsion, and wheezing.
For children (under 12 years old): Take orally, 2.5–15 ml per dose, twice daily.
During colds, parents should encourage children to rest more and drink plenty of plain water. Generally, the condition will improve within 5–7 days.
