How to treat a child's cough?

Patient's question:

When the baby has severe coughing, how should the child's cough be treated? Does anyone know the reason? I can tell you.

Doctor's answer:

If a child has been coughing for a long time, it is important to first give them small amounts of water to drink frequently. The water temperature should not be too hot to avoid irritating the throat. When the child is coughing violently, it is best to hold them up and gently pat their back with your hands. It is also important to maintain a suitable indoor temperature and humidity, and the cleanliness of the room is very important. If the child coughs too severely at night, you can slightly elevate their head to reduce esophageal reflux and the irritation of cold air to the throat. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to keeping the child warm.
