Patient's question:
My older daughter caught a cold a week ago. She started feverish while taking a nap in the evening. After the fever subsided, she began to cough and have difficulty breathing, panting heavily as if she couldn't catch her breath. What should she do now?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of a cold accompanied by cough are primarily triggered by many factors of respiratory infection, leading to the re-emergence of various manifestations. For this condition, the main approach is to focus on lung clearing treatment. When this situation occurs, it can be treated with lung-clearing medications such as Asmin. Additionally, it can also be decided to combine with herbs like Gancao and Amoxicillin to further adjust the treatment.For children with a cold and asthma, the treatment should be considered based on the severity of the condition, whether it requires outpatient or inpatient care. The treatment principles include eliminating the disease, controlling recurrence, and preventing the disease. Urinary tract dilation, adrenal cortical hormones, and antibiotics can be used to alleviate symptoms and anti-inflammatory treatment to control asthma recurrence. Inhaled treatment is a must for medication-based treatment methods.
