How to deal with a child's persistent cough that doesn't go away with treatment?

Patient's question:

The child is three years old and has just started having green nasal discharge. A few days later, they developed a cough accompanied by low-grade fever and dry vomiting. They were given cephalexin syrup, but they are still coughing now. The child's feet are cold, and they have lost their appetite.

Type of help needed: Hello, what is going on?

Doctor's answer:

Considering it might be a respiratory infection, it is mostly caused by viral infections. It is recommended to give the baby some pediatric expectorant and cough syrup. If the baby has difficulty taking medication, you can also use Mucosolvan for inhalation, which works very well. Make sure to give the baby plenty of fluids and monitor their body temperature regularly. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my child's cough doesn't improve with treatment?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
