Patient's question:
A 9-year-old child often coughs, similar to tonsillitis, and has phlegm that is yellow and accompanied by hiccups.Treatment history and effectiveness: The child has taken anti-inflammatory medication for a period of time, but it hasn’t improved. They have also been using saline nasal irrigation.
Help needed: Could you please explain what might be happening?
Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to rest, always maintain fresh air and appropriate temperature and humidity, provide absorbent food, drink plenty of water, change positions frequently to facilitate phlegm discharge. Treatment is based on suppressing infection and symptomatic therapy. For children with chronic cough that doesn't improve with treatment and for initial stages of pediatric cough, after using this method, the vast majority are completely cured in one go. The above suggestions are for the question "What causes frequent coughing in children?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
