Patient's question:
Coughing has been going on for three days now. At night, it comes in fits, and in the mornings, it's particularly severe.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. Medications like amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium, expectorant, licorice tablets, ketotifen, and traditional Chinese medicine for cough and phlegm relief should be taken orally. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods that are irritating. Regular exercise is recommended to strengthen your constitution.
