Patient's question:
The younger daughter of my cousin hasn't started kindergarten yet. I heard that the child has been a bit down with a cold these days, constantly having a runny nose. Especially in the mornings, after going to bed, she coughs very severely in bursts, but there's no phlegm in her throat. What medicine can help her recover quickly from a light cough?Doctor's answer:
Children with a cold who have clear nasal discharge and severe cough may have bronchitis caused by a viral infection. In this case, the treatment primarily involves the use of antiviral medications. In addition to clearing the lungs and cooling the blood, it is best to visit a hospital for relevant tests to confirm the diagnosis. After diagnosis, appropriate medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor. It is crucial to use medication properly under medical supervision.
