Patient's question:
Currently, the general situation is as follows:The child has been coughing for nearly a month, previously having a slight runny nose (not much) and nasal congestion. Recently, the coughing has been very loud, and sometimes it occurs even while sleeping, often making her cry badly. When she is not coughing, she is normal. She coughs for about 35 minutes a day. What could be the problem? How should it be treated? Thank you!!
Doctor's answer:
The child often coughs and the condition persists without improvement. In addition to carefully identifying the cause, actively controlling inflammation and clearing mucus is crucial. For parents, it is also very necessary to understand some medical knowledge. Generally, coughing is also a protective reflex. Mild and moderate coughing helps the body expel mucus. After the mucus is expelled, the cough often naturally subsides.
