Patient's question:
The child is 9 years old, mainly coughing, sometimes with phlegm, sometimes with a runny nose. They took Chinese medicine at Jinan Guoyintang Hospital and applied Chinese medicine patches.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby's cough with phlegm is likely a symptom of bronchitis caused by a cold. You can use children's cough syrup, Bromhexine, combined with antibiotics like Azithromycin or Amoxicillin for treatment. You can also give your baby some rock sugar pear juice or stewed pear with Fritillaria cirrhosa in your daily routine, which can also be effective in relieving cough and phlegm. Make sure to drink plenty of water, keep your baby warm, and prevent catching a cold.There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If your child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
