Patient's question:
Fever led to coughing. Currently, coughing occurs occasionally during the day and night, and it becomes particularly severe after exercise. No high fever, no runny nose, relatively good mental state, not very good appetite, not very large food intake, good deep sleep, relatively dry stools, and yellow urine.Doctor's answer:
Cough is a common symptom of respiratory diseases in children. It often reappears when suffering from lower respiratory tract infections such as tuberculosis, asthma, and other diseases. In most cases, cough gradually improves after the use of antibiotics. However, sometimes after using multiple different antibiotics and expectorants, the cough does not subside at all but instead becomes chronic. This condition is often cough-variant asthma (characterized by nighttime recurrence or morning-onset cough, worsening after exercise, and minimal sputum).Advice: Adopt targeted treatment and never blindly use antibiotics. A combination of Chinese and Western medicine (hormones, anticholinergic drugs) yields significant results.
1) Actively identify allergens: Pollen, house dust, mites, paint, dyes, etc.
2) Avoid triggers:
- Changes in weather, exposure to cold air;
- Cough worsening after exercise—avoid strenuous physical activity;
- Prevent emotional excitement, excessive crying, or tantrums.
3) Enhance immune function.
In summary, treating this condition is a long-term process. Be patient and give the child confidence! Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
