Question

How to handle a severe children’s cough when there is phlegm that can’t be coughed up?

Answer

Children’s cough can be quite severe, and when there’s phlegm that can’t be coughed up, it becomes difficult to take syrup or other medications. Here are some effective treatment methods and suggestions to help alleviate the discomfort caused by children’s cough. Firstly, the symptoms might be due to pediatric bronchopneumonia, such as chest pain, coughing, and fever. It is important to seek medical attention promptly for a diagnosis and treatment. The general treatment course usually takes about 14 days, so if you haven’t fully recovered yet, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination. In addition to timely treatment for children’s cough, patients should also pay attention to nursing care, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, choosing a regular hospital for consultation can help achieve better treatment results.
