Question

The child was diagnosed with pneumonia due to coughing and received five days of intravenous treatment at People’s Hospital. However, within 24 days after the end of treatment, there was no significant improvement in the cough, especially in the morning when coughing was frequent, and almost no coughing from night to dawn. Is the child’s continued lack of energy after treatment a sign of a severe condition?

Answer

Hello, based on the situation you described, it is initially judged to be symptoms caused by a cold. It is recommended to give the child plenty of water and provide light and easily digestible food. It is appropriate to use cold medicine or respiratory medication such as ambroxol for symptomatic treatment. There are various treatment methods for children’s cough, but since each patient’s condition is different, the treatment methods adopted will also vary. Therefore, it is suggested that patients undergo detailed examinations in a timely manner to receive appropriate treatment.
