Patient's question:
Recently, my child has been coughing a lot. We took him to see a doctor, but after a few days, he started coughing again. It's just dry coughing. No phlegm. It keeps recurring.Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by bronchitis. You need to go to the hospital for tests such as chest X-ray, CT, bronchoscopy, and bronchial provocation test. Oral amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium, expectorant, licorice tablets, ketotifen, and traditional Chinese medicine for cough and phlegm relief should be taken for treatment. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods that are irritating. Regular exercise is recommended to strengthen your constitution.
