Patient's question:
A 4-year-old boy has been coughing since mid-May. He visited various hospitals in between, where he was given medicine for colds and received injections. By October, a check-up revealed that his cough might be due to cough variant asthma, and medication and inhalers could potentially stabilize it, though it might worsen again if he catches a cold. Now, he continues to cough, and the parents don't want to give him any more medication. He also has swollen tonsils and seems to have sinusitis.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you. Based on your description and your child's condition, it is suspected that the upper respiratory infection has caused this. I recommend taking your child to a nearby children's hospital for a chest X-ray and blood tests. If the condition is not serious, you can coordinate with inhalation therapy or acupuncture treatment. Drink more water and eat less extremely cold and spicy food. If the blood count is high, it is recommended to treat the symptoms. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
