Patient's question:
My child is now two years old and has been coughing ever since. He has already gone through two winters, and his cough has been particularly severe each winter. So, I wanted to ask if a two-year-old child with a cough could be suffering from a disease like bronchitis or bronchial asthma?Doctor's answer:
The child coughs every winter. It's better to take the child to the hospital for a systematic and thorough examination, including a blood test, a chest X-ray, and an allergen test to see if it's caused by allergies. You can give the child oral azithromycin granules for children, loratadine granules for children, and montelukast chewable tablets. At the same time, you should also avoid cold and cool stimulation. On sunny days, you can let the child get more sun exposure to boost their immunity.
