Patient's question:
The child has been coughing recently, and it has been like this for several days. I don't know if it's asthma. What should I do? It's just chronic coughing.Doctor's answer:
Coughing is a protective respiratory reflex that occurs when the respiratory tract is stimulated (such as by inflammation, foreign bodies). Asthma has symptoms of coughing, but coughing is not a unique symptom. It is necessary to go to a formal hospital for examination to avoid worsening the condition.
