Patient's question:
Doctor, my child has been coughing a lot these days. I bought him a lot of syrup, but after drinking it, the effect isn't very noticeable. So I want to ask what should be paid attention to when children have a cough?Doctor's answer:
The child has developed cough symptoms again, and it is likely caused by tracheitis or mycoplasma infection. It is recommended to go to the hospital promptly for a thorough examination, including mycoplasma tests and lung CT scans, to assess the specific condition. Generally, mycoplasma infection can be treated with oral azithromycin. If the cough is caused by inflammation, medications such as cefotaxime can be taken orally for treatment.
