Patient's question:
Daughter said last week that her throat felt a bit itchy, and later it started to hurt a little. Even swallowing saliva became a bit uncomfortable. This week, she has already started coughing, and it's quite severe. Sometimes at night, she coughs so much that she can't fall asleep or wakes up from coughing. Even after taking medicine, it hasn't improved much. I want to ask how to treat children's cough?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms currently recurring in the child, especially in cases of severe cough, are likely caused by an acute infectious disease. Antimicrobial and expectorant/cough-relieving treatments are necessary, and this requires a follow-up visit to the pediatric respiratory department. The possibility of acute bronchitis is relatively high. Cefalosporin-class antibiotics administered via intravenous infusion can be used in combination with oral administration of Loquat Clear Lung Granules for expectorant and cough-relieving treatment.
