Question
My child is eleven months and one month old, and has been coughing for three days. I bought medicine from a pharmacy and it didn’t work. The child doesn’t cough much during the day, but at night the coughing is severe. The child doesn’t eat much dinner, and cries when they wake up from coughing at night! What medicine should the doctor prescribe to help them recover?
Answer
For the current symptoms described by you, it is advisable to decide on a visit to the pediatric department of a hospital for a detailed examination. At least a physical examination should be conducted to determine if the child has pediatric bronchitis or asthma, among other issues. After confirming the cause of the illness, consider targeted treatment and try to avoid self-medication. If necessary, consider using antibiotic treatment in conjunction with other medications.
