Patient's question:
Child No. 1 has been coughing for nine days and the medicine hasn't helped, so I stopped giving him the medicine. It's already the 19th and the cough hasn't gone away. It's not coughing all the time, what's going on?Doctor's answer:
I am very willing to help you solve your worries and answer your questions. According to your description, the 5-year-old child has had a cough for over two weeks, and the medication has not been effective. This suggests that there may be drug resistance, which could be related to the process required for the illness to fully recover, or it could be related to the child's disease resistance? You should encourage the child to drink more water and get more rest. The diet should be light and easy to digest, avoiding spicy and greasy foods. Fresh vegetables and fruits should be consumed to prevent colds and keep warm. Nebulization may be necessary if needed. This is the advice for the question "Child No. 1 cough took medicine for nine days and still hasn't improved." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
