How to treat a child with a cough for more than 20 days that keeps coming back after using a nebulizer?

Patient's question:

The child has been coughing for over 20 days, with the coughing worsening and improving repeatedly. They have undergone treatments without any effect. The child was taken to the hospital for a thorough check-up on bronchitis and was prescribed Azithromycin, Lufengkang, Ribavirin, and Xiao'er Huatan Kechi Granules. After one week, the coughing is still present, with periods of worsening and improvement. Today, the child has started to have a runny nose. What should we do?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
According to the situation you described, it is necessary to check how the baby's bronchitis has fully recovered. If the bronchitis has not fully healed, it is essential to focus on antibiotic treatment, and additionally, give the baby rock sugar pear water. For a runny nose, oral paracetamol with phenylephrine and chlorpheniramine granules can be taken, and pediatric acupuncture can be used to promote a thorough recovery.
Wishing the little one a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
