Patient's question:
The child has been coughing for nearly two weeks. Three weeks ago, there was a bit of phlegm when I listened, so I gave her some phlegm-resolving granules and Cefixime, and Ketotifen (she was hospitalized before New Year's Day and said she had a bit of allergic cough). After about five to six days, she got better, so I stopped the medication. Two days after stopping, she started coughing again. I gave her Ketotifen, Diprofen, phlegm-resolving granules, and anti-inflammatory drugs, but none of them worked. When I took her to the hospital, they listened and said there was nothing wrong with her lungs or trachea, but she still coughs. She coughs all night long, and I'm very worried. I don't know what the problem is. Could Director Shi give me some advice? I really don't know what to do if this cough continues. I heard you're coming to Ningyang on Sunday, and I'm looking forward to seeing you to check on the child. If you see my message, please let me know first how to control it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, cough is mostly caused by inflammation in the respiratory tract. Generally, you can take Azithromycin and Strong Loquat Syrup for treatment. Drink more boiled water. The diet should be light, and wish you good health.
