Patient's question:
The child occasionally coughs, 7-8 times a day, irregularly. Previously, coughing was more frequent in the morning and evening, but after seeing a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, the coughing became very irregular. It has been more than a week now, and I don't know the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on the situation you described, the child's symptoms are more likely to be caused by tracheal inflammation.Advice: It is recommended that you take anti-inflammatory medication and lung-cleansing syrup for treatment. Pay attention to preventing colds in daily life, and avoid spicy and greasy foods. It is best to have a chest X-ray and blood test done at the hospital to confirm the cause before starting treatment.
For the patient, if the child's cough is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the cough. Additionally, the patient should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
