Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old and has been coughing for a month. He has been given a lot of injections and taken many medications, but after two days of improvement, it recurs. What method can help my baby get better quickly?Doctor's answer:
Coughing is actually the body's first protective reflex. When the upper and lower respiratory tracts are stimulated by excessive secretions, harmful gases, or foreign objects entering the airway, persistent or intense coughing may occur, attempting to expel the foreign matter. However, frequent and prolonged coughing can affect a person's life, sleep, and even their respiratory and cardiac functions. This type of coughing constitutes a pathological state. To treat a cough, one should first identify its underlying cause.
