The child is 4 years old and has been coughing for 12 days, mainly at night.

Patient's question:

On July 7th, initially, I had coughing fits of about 30 seconds at midnight. After three nights of coughing, I took medicine from Tongren Hospital for three days and then stopped. Later, I still had some coughing, and it became even worse. Sometimes at night, I would cough for over 30 minutes, and during the day too. On July 18th, I went to Daxing Maternal and Child Hospital for treatment, but after two days of medication, there was no improvement. Then I went to the Children's Hospital, and after two more days of medication, the effect was still not good.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the cough with phlegm in your baby is likely a symptom of bronchitis caused by a cold. You can use children's cough syrup, children's lung heat cough and asthma oral liquid, combined with antibiotics such as azithromycin or amoxicillin for treatment. You can also give your baby some rock sugar pear juice or stewed snow pears with Fritillaria, which can also be effective in relieving cough with phlegm. Pay attention to drinking more water, keeping warm, and preventing catching a cold.
