Doctor's answer:
Recurrent cough is caused by bronchitis, which produces foreign bodies due to inflammation. The cough helps expel these foreign bodies from the body, leading to recovery. It is often triggered by catching a cold or feeling cold.If the symptoms are mild, you can use Hongzao Powder and Xiao'er Chenpi Qingfei Powder for oral administration. Pay attention to keeping warm, encouraging the child to drink more water, and lowering the pillow or sleeping in a semi-recumbent position to facilitate coughing. It is important to seek follow-up care at the pediatric department of the hospital. Chinese medicine treatment can also be considered.
