Patient's question:
Patient is male, 10 years old, previously in good health.Persistent cough, chest tightness, nausea, feeling like vomiting but unable to vomit, difficulty eating and drinking.
Doctor's answer:
Local medication, such as gargles, can be used with a 2% gentamicin solution, 3% saline solution, and 1:5000 Furacilin solution for repeated gargling. Alternatively, a 2% iodine glycerin or 5% silver proteinate solution can be applied to the pharyngeal wall, or iodine lozenges, Durafilm, mint, etc., can be held in the mouth. These methods have a certain function in alleviating symptoms. Local symptomatic treatment can also use traditional Chinese medicine preparations, such as grass coral lozenges and watermelon frost.
