Patient's question:
My daughter is two and a half years old. Lately, she has been coughing and sneezing a lot, especially at night when she coughs non-stop. Her throat is red, swollen, and painful. Fortunately, she hasn't had a high fever. Last night, I just gave her oral liquid.Doctor's answer:
The condition you mentioned is caused by inflammation. Since infants and young children have low resistance and are more sensitive to various external adverse stimuli, they are prone to experiencing discomfort again. It is advisable to seek medical attention for appropriate treatment to prevent the inconveniences of self-medication. Additionally, proper care training should be provided to prevent exposure to cold, ensure appropriate feeding, adjust clothing based on weather changes, maintain indoor ventilation, and reduce contact with susceptible individuals to prevent cross-infection, thereby maintaining health.
