Patient's question:
The child is four years old. Since childhood, they cough whenever they catch a cold, and the cough persists throughout the four seasons. The teacher keeps experiencing recurring episodes, and they also sweat a lot. They sweat profusely after playing for a little while.Test results: Bronchitis, frequently taking medication, and intravenous fluids were administered during severe episodes, but the teacher's condition keeps recurring without being fully resolved.
Is there a better solution than going to the hospital?
Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that the child may have lung qi deficiency. Coughing occurs whenever exposed to cold, and it keeps recurring without resolving, which may suggest the possibility of allergic cough (cough variant asthma).1. If the child is cooperative, consider conducting a lung function test to confirm the diagnosis of allergic cough.
2. If the child is uncooperative, oral medications such as ketotifen and salbutamol tablets can be used for diagnostic treatment. If the cough improves significantly, it may indicate allergic cough. Inhaled treatments like Flixotide and Pulmicort can be used for anti-inflammatory therapy.
3. Yu Ping Feng oral liquid can be used to replenish qi, increase sweating, and reduce resistance. It can be taken long-term, and it is recommended to start with three months.
