Patient's question:
Coughing for a year, sometimes better, sometimes worse. My child says there is phlegm in the throat. In between, I have taken Xiao'er Ma Gan Granules, Xigua Shuang Huan Tablets, anti-inflammatory pills (dandelion, scutellaria, roxburgh rose root, Isatis indigotica), anti-inflammatory pills (dandelion, purple corn root, wild chrysanthemum, scutellaria), Fuzheng Pipayao, Yinhuang Granules, ambroxol oral solution, tangerine peel, licorice, and Compound Xianzhuli Liquid. After taking them, there was some relief, but it couldn't heal completely. Today, I went to our provincial city People's Hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said it was cough-induced asthma (test results and prescribed medications are attached in the uploaded images). Is this condition easy to treat? The CT report says the lung fields show increased and blurred texture—is that serious? What kind of herbal teas or health supplements should I take regularly? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the increased and blurred texture in both lungs indicates pneumonia. I suggest treating the baby with intravenous fluids or medication, and each time, it's necessary to endure plus inhaling through a nebulizer. Generally, a course of treatment lasting 1 to 2 weeks is required. It's best to wear a mask to prevent the impact of cold and hot air, which will help in a full recovery. The above advice is for the question "What to do when coughing has been on and off for half a year." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
