Question
My child occasionally coughs, about 7-8 times a day, irregularly. Previously, they coughed more in the morning and evening, but after seeing a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, they still have a cough, which is now very irregular. It’s been over a week, and I’m not sure what the cause is?
Answer
Hello! Based on the situation you described, it seems that the child’s symptoms are likely due to tracheitis. Guidance: I suggest you can take anti-inflammatory medication and lung-clearing syrup for treatment. Pay attention to avoiding colds and not eating spicy, greasy foods. It is best to go to the hospital for chest X-ray examination and a thorough blood test to confirm the cause of the disease before starting treatment. For patients, if the child’s cough is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and proper medication use are necessary to prevent recurrence of cough. In addition, patients need to maintain a cheerful mood at all times to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the above answers can help everyone. Thank you.
