Patient's question:
My child is already 3 years old this year. Recently, he hasn't been feeling well and has been coughing constantly for several months. I have taken him to some hospitals and seen several doctors, and he has taken some medication, but it hasn't had much effect. I am very worried. What should I do if this continues? How should I handle whooping cough?Doctor's answer:
The current condition of the child has been experiencing chronic cough, and it is necessary to identify if it is cough variant asthma, which is commonly known as allergic cough. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for allergen testing and also for respiratory function testing. For the frequent coughing, a combination of inhaled mist and oral montelukast sodium can be used. At the same time, it is important to avoid allergens and enhance the child's immunity.
