Question

My child occasionally coughs, about 7 to 8 times a day, and it’s irregular. The cough was more frequent in the morning and evening, but after receiving traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the cough became irregular. This has been going on for over a week, and the cause is unknown.

Answer

Hello! Based on your description, your child’s symptoms may be related to tracheal inflammation. It is recommended to give your child anti-inflammatory medication and combine it with cough syrup for treatment. At the same time, be sure to keep warm and avoid eating spicy, greasy foods. It is suggested to go to the hospital for a chest X-ray and routine blood test to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, maintaining a positive mood can also help in the recovery of the illness. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
