Patient's question:
The son of the doctor has been coughing for a long time. The doctor said it was whooping cough in children and that it was quite serious. At the time, he was seen at a children's hospital. After the examination, the doctor prescribed many medications and explained the relevant precautions. However, these medications were not very effective. I would like to know what medicine should be used for children's cough?Doctor's answer:
If it was seen at a children's hospital, the doctor said it might be whooping cough. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to diagnose whether it is indeed whooping cough. If it is, the medication mainly involves erythromycin treatment, as well as symptomatic treatment. This includes taking lung-cleansing and blood-cooling medications, as well as undergoing therapy. Whooping cough, by its name, implies that it requires about a hundred days of coughing to gradually improve, and it is necessary to persist with medication.
