Patient's question:
Three weeks ago, it suddenly started to get hot, and I checked for tonsillitis. Later, I started to have a fever, but after the fever subsided, I still couldn't stop coughing. I took a lot of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, such as Xia'er Magan Granules, Xia'er Kechuan Ling Granules, Xia'er Qingfei Liangxue Koufuye, Clindamycin, Cephalexin, and Cefixime (medication), but none of them helped. Now I'm still coughing, and it's worse at night when I'm sleeping. I cough all night and even vomit. It's really making me anxious!Doctor's answer:
What medicine should be taken for a persistent cough? The symptoms mentioned above are likely indicative of allergic cough, which may be triggered by exposure to allergens such as pollen, paint, or seafood like shrimp and crabs.Recommendations:
For medication, it is advisable to actively treat the allergy. Cetirizine drops can be used for treatment and management.
Lifestyle care:
Drink plenty of water, consume more fruits, vegetables, and digestive vitamins, and avoid a meat deficiency or picky eating. Additionally, do not frequently rely on snacks.
