Patient's question:
My child had a fever and a cold last time, and then started coughing. The doctor said it was bronchitis, and after taking medication, it improved a bit. The coughing wasn't as severe anymore. However, even after finishing the medication prescribed by the doctor, it hasn't fully recovered, and there is still some coughing.Doctor's answer:
The child's cough has not been cured despite long-term treatment, which is related to infectious factors, physical and chemical impacts, allergies, and dysfunction of respiratory protective mechanisms, as well as dysfunction of the vegetative nervous system. Treatment should focus on suppressing infections, expectorating, relieving asthma, and clearing the lungs. Daily life should enhance physical fitness and completely eliminate the causative factors. If infections are suppressed, as soon as the child coughs, they should take a pack immediately, which can quickly and completely eliminate the cough, restore normal chest pressure, and effectively prevent incomplete treatment, leading to non-healing and increasing the risk of recurrence of complications.
