Question

My 2-year-old son has been coughing frequently lately, and his bowel condition is not good either. How should I handle this?

Answer

Children have narrow airways and soft structures, which are prone to mucus accumulation and difficulty in expectoration. It is recommended to use nebulizer inhalation therapy as an auxiliary treatment in addition to professional treatment, which can accelerate the dissolution of respiratory secretions and promote expectoration. Parents should assist their child in timely treatment of the disease while also paying attention to maintaining a balanced nutritional diet for the baby, avoiding excessive supplementation or malnutrition.
