Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my son is 4 years old. He had diarrhea twice today and has been coughing continuously. I want to take him to the hospital, but he keeps crying and refuses to go. I just wanted to ask the doctor what causes diarrhea and coughing in children and what should be done about it?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to the symptoms you mentioned, the baby may have indigestion and an upper respiratory infection. If it doesn't improve, it is recommended to give the baby some liquid foods, such as noodles and porridge. Keep the baby warm and add clothing according to the weather. Also, provide warm water, and avoid spicy and cold foods. You can ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for the baby's cough. Rest more during the day. Finally, wish your child healthy growth!
