Patient's question:
Little girl, 7 years old this year. Recently, she always coughs and her bowel movements are not good. Please ask: What should I do if a 1.5-year-old baby has a cold and coughs?Doctor's answer:
It is not necessarily that eating a few bites of durian will cause stomach upset. Sometimes, severe coughing in children can lead to damage to the tracheal mucosa, resulting in a very small amount of blood streaks, which is not a serious concern. Symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment, drinking plenty of warm water for enhanced care, and, if necessary, (inhaled medication to reduce phlegm and alleviate cough) are recommended.For parents, it is important to help their children receive timely treatment for the illness. Additionally, during daily life, attention should be paid to a balanced diet for the child—avoid over-nourishing or malnutrition.
