Patient's question:
The child is 10 years old and has had some coughing recently. They took Amoxicillin, Gancao Heji (Licorice Mixture), and Xiaokun Lvermifuge Oral Liquid, which had some effect, but there was still a squeaking sound in the throat at night, and sometimes intermittent sounds were heard in the back. Later, they went to another hospital. The initial doctor diagnosed bronchitis and said a pulmonary function test report should be done. After the pulmonary function test was completed, the doctor who performed it said there were no major issues and wrote the result "obstruction of small airways, increased airway resistance." However, the doctor who treated the child said the problem was serious and later diagnosed "asthma," prescribing many medications, including Azithromycin, expectorant, Pingchuan Oral Liquid, and an imported drug (the name of which I have forgotten for the time being).Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello! The child has a cough, and there is a squeaking sound in the throat at night. There are also intermittent sounds in the back sometimes loud and sometimes soft, which may be due to water retention or asthma caused by unregulated lung qi.Suggestions: For water retention or asthma caused by unregulated lung qi, traditional Chinese medicine has a good therapeutic effect. It is recommended that you consult an experienced TCM practitioner, as traditional Chinese medicine is also cost-effective. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
