Patient's question:
My child is now 22 months old. Last night, he ate 2 egg tarts, 1 banana, 1 orange, and a bag of sweet milk at the same time. By midnight, he started coughing, but the frequency wasn't high—it was just occasional coughing, accompanied by a hoarse and snoring sound, as if there was something stuck in his throat that he couldn't cough up, like phlegm. He also started crying and couldn't sleep peacefully. In the morning, he showed no other symptoms until that evening, when the same symptoms returned.What should I do if my child coughs and has a hoarse throat after eating sweet foods?
Urgent inquiry:
1. What medicine should I give him, or are there any dietary precautions I should take?
Doctor's answer:
This may be related to conditions such as spleen deficiency and dampness excess. Children with cough can take Compound Guaicol tablets, Diprofenine Hydrochloride tablets, and Azithromycin granules. For those with allergies or bronchitis, Dexamethasone, Compound Bronchitis tablets, etc., can be added. If there are cold symptoms, children can also take Children's Aminophen Yellow Naphazoline granules for treatment. The efficacy is excellent.
