Question
My child is now two years old and has been coughing continuously, having already endured two winters. The coughing worsens every winter. I am asking whether it’s possible for a child so young to have bronchitis or asthma.
Answer
It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, including routine blood tests, chest X-rays, and allergen testing to determine if the cough is caused by allergies. You can give your child pediatric azithromycin dry suspension, loratadine dry suspension, and montelukast chewable tablets, while also paying attention to avoiding cold and irritating foods, and getting plenty of sunlight to enhance their resistance.
