Question
The weather has turned cooler recently, and my child has been suffering from a persistent cough since yesterday. Despite taking many cough medicines, there has been no improvement, and it’s especially severe at night. What are some treatment methods for children’s cough?
Answer
When the weather gets colder, children are susceptible to coughing due to colds. If cough symptoms arise, it is important to treat them promptly to avoid the condition worsening into bronchitis. If the cough persists, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a chest X-ray to determine if bronchitis or bronchopneumonia is present. Additionally, a routine blood test should be conducted to confirm if there is a bacterial infection, and if so, antibiotic treatment should be administered.
