Patient's question:

Nasal discharge, frequent coughing, severe coughing with vomiting twice, white and thick sputum. Third day of illness. How should I handle severe nasal discharge and coughing in my baby with a cold?

Doctor's answer:

The child is coughing again, likely due to inflammation. In this case, the effect of lung-cleansing medications is not as good as using anti-inflammatory drugs targeting the cause. Give the child positive antiviral medication and oral liquid anti-inflammatory medication. As the child's condition improves, the cough will also subside. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
During treatment, the patient needs to follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene. Avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
