Patient's question:
, Cough without fever: Previous treatment and effectiveness: Drank Compound Jia Ma Oral Liquid all day, coughing badly today, feels like there's phlegm. How can the treatment be more effective! Thank you for the assistance you care about: Please provide the correct treatment method, what medicine is good with minimal side effects...Doctor's answer:
Transmission of the disease is mostly characterized by a single, irritating cough, resembling a scratchy throat, without phlegm; it occurs day and night, without accompanied by wheezing or rapid breathing. The baby may have poor appetite, runny nose, and sometimes fever (temperature not exceeding 38°C); they may also experience poor spirits and lack of appetite. After sweating and fever subsides, symptoms disappear, but the cough may persist for 3-5 days.Advice: During upper respiratory infections, the nasal mucosa of children is already inflamed. If they inhale dry air, it will make their nasal passages more uncomfortable and may worsen the cough. Therefore, it is important to keep the room air moist. Methods such as using a humidifier, hanging damp towels, mopping the floor with water, or placing a basin of water in the room can help increase humidity. If the child's cough and nasal congestion symptoms persist for a week without improvement, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
