Question
An eight-year-old boy recently developed a seasonal cough, and his parents are seeking professional advice on how to handle their child’s coughing issue.
Answer
When dealing with a child’s seasonal cough, parents should first focus on keeping their child warm and consider taking anti-infection or anti-viral treatment measures. If diagnosed with a bacterial or viral infection, antibiotics can be administered to the child. At the same time, ensure the child has a regular lifestyle, adjust clothing appropriately to prevent colds, maintain good indoor air circulation, and keep humidity and temperature at a comfortable level. Parents should also assist the child in coughing up phlegm and provide easy-to-digest food.
