How to deal with your child's recent dry cough?

Patient's question:

The child has been experiencing dry cough recently. It occurs during exercise and when eating near hot air. The cough does not occur during nighttime sleep. Previously, the child had a history of pediatric asthma. I consulted an expert and asked if there are any medications available to treat this. In the past, during winter, the child would always have an attack whenever the weather changed.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is considered to be bronchial infection or pneumonia. It is recommended to see a doctor for auscultation and diagnosis, and chest X-ray can be taken if necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Mild infections can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. Cough or phlegm can be treated with fresh jujube oral liquid or children's polio particles. Opinion and Suggestions: In severe cases, intravenous infusion treatment is recommended. It is also necessary to be alert to infections caused by mycoplasma. If mycoplasma infection is suggested, intravenous erythromycin injection or oral azithromycin dry suspension is recommended.
