Patient's question:
The child is now 3 and a half years old, and has been coughing in fits for over two weeks. In the past two days, the cough has become particularly severe, especially at night. Medications have been taken, and injections have been administered, but there has been no significant improvement. Is there any quick method to clear the lungs?Doctor's answer:
Suggest investigating the cause of the cough, such as bacterial infection or the possibility of upper respiratory tract mycoplasma infection. Blood tests can be conducted to check for elevated white blood cell levels. If elevated, it is recommended to undergo comprehensive treatment that includes clearing the lungs and cooling the blood. If it is a mild cough without phlegm, generally it is advisable to wait for less than half a month before conducting a cold agglutination test. If it is positive, it is recommended to actively treat mycoplasma and undergo comprehensive treatment that includes clearing the lungs and cooling the blood. Inhalation therapy can be used in conjunction.
