Patient's question:
My son went out to play a few days ago and accidentally caught a cold. Now he has a slight cold with coughing, and sometimes the cough is especially severe. He went to the hospital and got some medicine, but it hasn't been very effective. So I want to ask the doctor, what kind of medicine would be the fastest to help my son recover from the cough?Doctor's answer:
After children catch a cold, they are more prone to develop pharyngitis and bronchitis again. This can lead to the clinical symptoms of coughing and phlegm. Based on the current symptoms, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination to rule out the possibility of developing pediatric pneumonia again. If inflammation occurs, oral anti-inflammatory medication should be taken for treatment. During the treatment period, avoid giving the child foods. It is advised to take medication under the guidance of a local doctor.
