Question
The child’s cough has persisted for a week, and it is diagnosed as possibly being caused by a cold or combined with allergic cough. How should it be alleviated?
Answer
For a child experiencing a persistent cough, it is recommended to use medications specifically designed for cough relief and inflammation. If the prescribed medication contains sedatives, it may make the child appear more calm. Additionally, consider giving the child a transfer factor oral solution to enhance their immunity, preventing recurrent colds and bronchitis. If necessary, take the child to the hospital for an X-ray chest scan to rule out the possibility of lung infection. In daily diet, avoid stimulating food to facilitate the recovery from cough.
