Question
My son has been suffering from a long-term cough, and it keeps recurring even after hospital treatment. Does he have a fever? What are the results of his blood tests and chest X-ray?
Answer
Based on the description of the condition, the child’s long-term cough keeps recurring. It is recommended to consider cough-variant asthma after excluding other diseases. Blood tests, chest X-rays, and pulmonary function tests can be conducted to make a clear diagnosis and then determine the treatment plan. Nebulizer therapy is one of the effective means to relieve respiratory symptoms, but the appropriate treatment method should be chosen based on the cause, and continuous treatment for a period of time is needed to see results.
