Patient's question:
These past few days, my son has been coughing and coughing badly. I think he might have bronchitis. How can you tell if it's bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
The causes of cough are generally divided into three categories: the throat, the urinary tract, and the lungs. If the cough persists for a long time, it is recommended to first conduct a systematic and thorough examination of the child to identify the root cause before proceeding with targeted treatment. If the cough is solely caused by the throat, symptoms such as sore throat, redness, swelling, and pain may occur. If there is inflammation in the urinary tract or lungs, tapping with a stethoscope may produce abnormal sounds, and even high fever may develop.
