Patient's question:
Recently it's the flu season, and my baby got infected. Five days ago, he had high fever and coughed, and also had a runny nose. The doctor at the hospital prescribed medicine, and the fever went down, and the runny nose stopped, but the cough still persists, especially at night when it's the worst. Yesterday, he coughed so hard that he even vomited. Hello, regarding the issue of children's cough, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The child has developed cough again, which is likely due to poor immunity or a viral infection. If the cough is severe, it may lead to vomiting again. It is necessary to go to the hospital promptly for blood tests and X-rays to conduct a thorough examination and determine the treatment plan. Generally, symptoms will stabilize after one week of medication, but coughing may recur intermittently. Therefore, it is recommended to continue medication for a few more days to ensure stability.
