A Four-Year-Old Girl’s Persistent Cough for Half a Year, Traditional and Western Medicine Treatments Unsuccessful

A four-year-old girl has been suffering from intermittent cough for half a year, with varying sputum colors from white to yellow. She has undergone both traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments, with the Chinese medicine nebulizer therapy showing slight effectiveness, while the Western medicine’s anti-inflammatory medication has been ineffective, with only injections providing relief. During this period, she has undergone three X-ray exams, revealing minor lung infections and two cases of bronchitis. Although symptoms would ease after each treatment, they would reappear after only a week at most. Lately, her cough has worsened at night, especially after eating before bedtime, leading to vomiting. Is it possible that she has chronic bronchitis or tuberculosis? Should she opt for traditional Chinese or Western medicine treatment? If Western medicine treatment is chosen, what tests or treatments should be done in the short term?
