Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Okay, recently, I might catch a cold wind cold and develop a cough. It's been a week, and I've been eating steamed pear with rock sugar, but it hasn't gone away at all. I went to the children's hospital for a preliminary and careful check-up, and they found no problems with my lungs or urinary tract. I'm hesitant to use medicine for fear it will affect the baby. I'm turning to all the doctors for help – what should I do? Last night, I even couldn't sleep well during my nap because I kept coughing. I'm very worried that the cough won't go away, and I'm really anxious.
Medical history and effectiveness: Steamed pear with rock sugar, plus pine nut, showed some improvement but not significant relief.
Type of help desired: I hope the doctors who respond can give me sincere advice and help. It would be best if it doesn't involve intravenous drips or Western medicine.
Doctor's answer:
Baby cough may be a symptom of chronic bronchopneumonia. Relying solely on rock sugar pears may not be as effective as desired.Recommendation: It is suggested to use traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as Xiao'er Fei Re Ke Chuan Kou Fu Ye (Children's Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid), Ke Ke Min, or Xiao'er Qing Fei Tang (Children's Clear Lung Syrup) for medication. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding irritating foods during daily life.
The above advice is for the question "How should a pregnant woman deal with a persistent cough for over a week?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
