Patient's question:
Son has been coughing very abnormally these days, no fever. I want to consult about what causes the empty sound of coughing in children without fever?Doctor's answer:
Dry cough without fever should be considered as possible bronchitis, pharyngitis, mycoplasma/chlamydia infection, cold, upper respiratory tract infection, and many other causes. You can take conventional oral cold medicine and lung-cleaning medicine for symptomatic treatment. If it doesn't improve, you should go to the hospital for further tests such as chest X-ray, mycoplasma/chlamydia blood test, and follow the doctor's guidance for medication and symptomatic treatment.
