Patient's question:
Child has been a bit coughing every night recently, and I feel very sorry every time I hear him cough. My husband said we can take the child to the surgery department to see a doctor. I want to ask, is it necessary to go to the surgery department for children's cough?Doctor's answer:
Not for children's cough, you can choose pediatrics or respiratory medicine. It is recommended that children over the age of fourteen should choose pediatrics because pediatric medications are controlled and dosed based on age and weight. Medications that adults can use are absolutely not suitable for children. Although the baby's cough is not a particularly serious illness, if it is not treated in time, it may lead to more severe complications. Therefore, parents should take the baby to the additional department for follow-up examination in time for timely treatment.
