Four-year-old girl, coughing at night before bed, no fever, in good spirits

Patient's question:

Generally, coughing occurs before going to sleep, dry cough, sometimes coughing during the day but not at night. No fever, good spirits. It has been about a month, and she has taken many medications without any effect. She says her throat itches. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

The condition you described may be caused by chronic pharyngitis. Locally, you can apply compound iodine glycerin, a 5% silver nitrate solution, or a 10% weak silver protein solution to the throat. Oral medications such as antibiotics, vitamins A, B2, C, and E can also be used for treatment. Avoid prolonged and excessive voice use, and avoid exposure to allergens that may cause chronic allergic pharyngitis.
