How to treat a child who has been coughing for months intermittently?

Patient's question:

The child has been coughing for a long time. It has been intermittent for several months. They have gone to the hospital many times. It started as a cold causing the cough, then it was due to lung heat, and now it is said to be a viral cold. Last Thursday, the doctor did a thorough blood test, and all the indicators were normal, confirming it was a viral cold. But now the medicine is finished, and they haven't fully recovered yet.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, the baby has been coughing for a relatively long time. Have you checked for Mycoplasma pneumoniae? Considering the baby's current condition, it is first necessary to check for Mycoplasma pneumoniae to see how the infection is progressing. If the test for Mycoplasma pneumoniae is negative, it may still be considered an allergic cough. In that case, you can take Chlorpheniramine syrup, Montelukast sodium chewable tablets, and drink more water. Wishing the little one a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
