Question
My child has been diagnosed with pneumonia and has been receiving intravenous treatment at People’s Hospital for five days. However, the cough persists for 26 days after the treatment ends, particularly frequent in the morning, and almost no coughing at night until the next morning. What should be done to manage the cough post-treatment?
Answer
Hello, this situation is mainly considered as a manifestation of respiratory infection, and it is recommended to actively treat it. Firstly, ensure that the child maintains a balanced diet, drinks plenty of water, and avoids spicy and stimulating foods. A thorough blood test should be conducted, and targeted treatment should be administered based on the results. Additionally, during the treatment period, the child’s diet and care are equally important; pay more attention to diet and choose light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. We hope the above suggestions will be helpful to you. Thank you.
