Patient's question:
My son is now two years old. He caught a cold two days ago. At first, he had a slight fever, but after taking medicine to reduce the fever, he started coughing. He coughs quite severely. Listening to his coughing sound, I feel it must be very painful. Doctor, what should I do if my child's cough is severe?Doctor's answer:
If the baby's cough is severe, it is recommended that you should pay attention to taking the baby to the hospital for a blood test to check if it is caused by a bacterial infection. If you are interested, you can take small Yangkangkang under the guidance of a doctor, such as antibiotics like cephalexin or oral liquids. In addition, you can also give the baby Mucosolvan or Itanshijingzhuang cough medicine, or oral lung-cleaning syrup.
