Patient's question:
What is the reason for my child's frequent coughing? At first, it was dry cough. After a couple of days, it would have phlegm.Treatment history and effectiveness: Taking medicine for two or three days would make it better, but it would cough again after a few days.
What kind of help do you want: I want to get better quickly and avoid repeated coughing.
Doctor's answer:
No matter what kind of cough it is, it is important to actively encourage the baby to drink water and not wait until they are thirsty to remember to drink. If the baby drinks a sufficient amount of water, it can help dissolve thick secretions, making them easier to cough out. If cough medicine is given every time the baby coughs, the cough may be suppressed, but this can make it more difficult for mucus to be expelled afterward, potentially leading to blocked airways. Not only does this fail to relieve the cough, but it can also easily cause lung infections. Therefore, in the early stages of children's coughs, it is important to first implement mucus-expelling treatment.
