Patient's question:
My child started coughing last Friday and had a fever on Sunday evening. We took them to the hospital, and they said it was bronchitis. However, starting this afternoon, they've been coughing continuously with fever for three days. The hospital prescribed fever-reducing medicine, lung heat syrup, and azithromycin. Since 5 PM this afternoon, they've been coughing non-stop, and whenever they cough, they vomit. They have an allergic constitution. Could you diagnose this for me? How can my child stop coughing? It's so unbearable. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The child has been experiencing coughing symptoms since last Friday and has had a fever at night. The examination revealed bronchitis, and it is important to give the child anti-inflammatory treatment in a timely manner. If bronchitis is not treated promptly, it can lead to pneumonia. Timely treatment is recommended, and medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. You can also boil some rock sugar pear water to drink. Avoid strenuous exercise and let the child rest more. Engage with the child more often to keep their mood cheerful, which can help the condition improve faster.
