Patient's question:
My child has been coughing for five months. During these five months, they had two episodes of bronchopneumonia. Now the pneumonia has healed, but they cough every morning, noon, and evening, sometimes even with hollow coughing. I want to ask the doctor if there might be a foreign object in the trachea?Doctor's answer:
Coughing is only a symptom, and it is an effective way to eliminate bacteria from the respiratory tract. You can drink some warm drinks to thin the baby's mucus, reduce the tension of the respiratory tract mucosa, and promote coughing. It is best for the child to drink warm water, warm milk, rice soup, etc., or give the child fresh juice. The juice should be chosen to be less irritating, such as apple juice and pear juice, and should not drink orange juice, grapefruit juice, and other citrus juices.
