Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. What should I do about my child's whooping cough?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a blood test to check for inflammation or viral infection, and then consider treatment. Pay attention to rest, avoid colds, and enhance nutrition. Carefully observe if there is excessive phlegm that irritates the throat, leading to repeated coughing discomfort. Appropriately use expectorant cough syrups or combine them with treatments for better therapeutic effects. Nowadays, most children have received the pertussis vaccine, so cases of pertussis are rarely seen.
