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 coughing is particularly severe. He went to the hospital and got medicine, but it hasn't been very effective. So, I want to ask the doctor what medicine would be the fastest to help my son with his cold and cough.Doctor's answer:
After children catch a cold, they are more prone to experience recurrent tonsillitis and bronchitis symptoms. This can lead to the clinical manifestations 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 recurrent pediatric pneumonia. If inflammation is detected, 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.
