Question
A child is experiencing a persistent cough with phlegm, which worsens at night and after naps, along with a runny nose. After hospital treatment, the symptoms have not improved. How should parents further manage a child’s recurrent cough accompanied by asthma?
Answer
Considering the child’s symptoms, it may be an inflammatory response due to a cold or upper respiratory infection. It is recommended to treat with children’s expectorant cough granules and cold granules, while closely monitoring the condition. At the same time, ensure the child is adequately hydrated and protected from colds. During the treatment process, parents should maintain a positive and optimistic attitude to boost the child’s confidence in fighting the disease, believing that with appropriate treatment and care, the child’s cough symptoms will be relieved.
