What should I do if my child keeps coughing repeatedly?

Patient's question:

Alright, in a few days, it will happen again. The first two times were because of drinking medicine. The third time became acute laryngitis. Infusion for 8 days. After 10 days, the child coughed again. There was a lot of phlegm. They went to the hospital for a check-up and were diagnosed with pneumonia. But the child didn't have a fever and wasn't mischievous, just breathing heavily. The chest X-ray showed increased, disordered, and blurred lung markings. There were patchy, blurred shadows in the lower fields of both lungs. The heart shadow size and shape were normal. The diaphragmatic surfaces were smooth. The costophrenic angles were sharp.

Doctor's answer:

1. Enhance nutrition and physical exercise to increase disease resistance.
2. Actively prevent upper respiratory tract infections at work. Use the vinegar sterilization method for prevention: During flu outbreaks, use 2-10 ml of vinegar per cubic meter of space and simmer gently for 1 hour.
3. Pay attention to temperature adjustments to prevent catching a cold. Especially during autumn and winter, be mindful of keeping the chest warm.
4. If there is a suspicion of allergies to fish, shrimp, egg whites, etc., increase or strictly prohibit consumption.
5. For recurrent cases, take medication for prevention or vaccination for prevention.
