Patient's question:
Our child has had a cold and cough for the past few days and hasn't been taking medicine with no effect. How should children with cold and cough be treated?Doctor's answer:
A 9-year-old child who has a cold and then experiences coughing again may be related to tonsillitis or urethral inflammation. It is recommended to go to a larger hospital for a detailed examination. Follow the doctor's guidance to give the child cold and anti-inflammatory medications, as well as expectorant and cough-relieving drugs for treatment. Encourage the child to drink more warm water and eat more apples, pears, and other foods that help with expectoration and cough relief. You can also give the child some rock sugar pear water. Pay attention to dietary restrictions, maintain a light diet, avoid crowded places to prevent further deterioration of the condition. Pay attention to closely observe the effects of medication. If necessary, you can go to the respiratory department of the hospital for further examination.
