Patient's question:
A few days ago, my daughter got a cold, took her to the hospital for an IV drip, and also picked up a lot of medicine. All other symptoms were getting better, but her cough just wouldn't stop. So, I took her back to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the result was pediatric bronchitis. I wanted to ask you, doctor, how can we stop the cough from pediatric bronchitis? It keeps coughing, and it's not right like this, right?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it seems that the child's bronchitis cough should be actively treated with oral medication for the cough symptoms to improve again. Especially for younger children, if their general condition is poor, such as mental state, appetite, and deep sleep, they should be taken to the hospital immediately for a follow-up examination to identify the cause of the disease. Treatment should be determined based on the cause, rather than deciding on oral medication or anesthetic drugs on your own.
